Ralph, early 06 washers only had a "normal" wash cycle as well as a soak cycle. The 806 had the visible pre-wash cycle. Then right after that was the soak cycle that was typical for a lot of Maytags. It wasn't until a couple of years later that Maytag redid their timer layout with the addition of Permanent Press cycle. This being the earliest of 806, the "speed buttons" to the right of the timer were Normal, Wash 'n' Wear, and Delicate. The WnW was normal agitation and slow spin. There were also only 3 water level buttons even on the largest capacity such as this one.

![]() Thanks John. A second look after reading your post revealed the usual increments.
Besides this machine's questionable condition, it seems less desirable -- at least to me -- than later 806 models with more wash/spin speed and fill level options.
Is it the camera and/or lighting, or has the metallic blue paint across the bottom of the console faded or been removed entirely? |

It all comes down to what you're after... There is some elegance to the simpler dial on the pre-permanent-press models, and the chrome trim is a nice touch. If you get too late in the production, you lose things like the tub light, so there might be a sweet spot in the middle... |

My main complaint about these earlier 806's is that a slow agitation/fast spin combo isn't an option, a selection I frequently use. Besides a more restrictive 3 level water switch and shorter 45 second spray rinse.
Tub lights were around until late '75 and a timed bleach dispenser disappeared in early '75. |
