kjknit/Kate:
Hello & welcome!
:o) I'm not an expert nor am I familiar with these later Maytag models. But what I can tell you from the pictures is, this washer is; the ex-large capacity, (with infinite water level selector lever) it has 2-speed combination buttons (NORMAL wash/FAST spin, GENTLE wash/Slow spin) 4 water temperature selection buttons (HOT wash WARM rinse) (HOT wash COLD rinse) (WARM wash COLD rinse) (COLD wash COLD rinse) | ||

The wash tub:
Looks pretty dirty in the upper ¼ section.
And I don't know if the porcelain coating around holes in the wash tub is chipped or if it's just dirty around the holes? (See pictures from ad) | ||

Thanks for your input! Yes, the ad says it will probably need a good cleaning. The seller tells me it hasn't been used in a few months. I will ask if it's dirt or damage in those pics. | ||

I would swap out that agitator for a Load Sensor....cleaning and capacity would greatly improve

Hi Kate,
As Bob mentioned above, this machine has the orbital transmission which results in a shorter, faster agitation stroke than your current machine. Experts here have said it's an improvement over the older type of transmission Maytag used until mid-1987 -- if you can even imagine a Maytag automatic washer that's supposedly more dependable than what earned Maytag its stellar reputation in the first place.
The tub size can be determined by checking the agitator. Standard tub agitators have three holes down the side and larger ones have four holes. The "load sensor" agitators have no holes, but I think by the time they were introduced, Maytag was only producing large tub machines. | ||

Well, that washer purchase seems to be falling through. Any thoughts on the a305 and it's capacity? I am likely bringing this set home now. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kjknit's LINK on Cleveland Craigslist | ||
