Here is a short video of me washing whites in the A806. It was a medium sized load and used large water height. Turn over is pretty good. CLICK HERE TO GO TO casciomichael's LINK | ||

As long as a Maytag was underloaded, it would provide turnover, although more so with the Powerfin agitator than the original Gyrator. You can't load a Maytag as full as you can a Frigidaire with a Three Ring Agitator and get the turnover the Frigidaire gives. | ||

Laundry is clean after a washing like this. The tub has room to move the laundry around for a thorough cleaning and rinsing. In solid tub Frigidaire the up and down motion simply balls the laundry up, and tumbles it tied up in a ball. Laundry simply will not get clean clean like that, and the "overflow rinse" is just a waste of water. A fast spin speed doesn't mean much, when the dirt is still in the laundry. Maytag and Kenmore/Whirlpool machines were and still are the very best.

A Maytag does not need to be underloaded, it needs to be properly loaded. That said, the machine in casciomichael's video appears to be a bit underloaded. A full load that turns over slowly will get cleanest. This post was last edited 04/12/2021 at 06:03 | ||

I'm jealous of how quiet that trans is. My A407 has the typical loud RRRR, RRRR, RRRR, RRRR as its agitating due to many hours of use. I wish all the Pittman internals were still available. For my money, owning a classic Maytag washer means you have to own a Mallory equipped one to enjoy the torsion spring and ratchet in action sound.
