Yes, your machine was built Nov 1989...not sure who you checked with, Searspartsdirect shows only 10 parts still available for your machine, all other parts are NLA=No Longer Available....unless a used parts place can locate any given part...
I will say the interior looks in great shape, minimal wear/use marks, and doesn't appear you washed much in cold water.... have yet to find a Maytag repairman that is lonely with nothing to do...lol many times we run across machines that sit for a long time, not always a good thing.....belts/hoses can dry rot/crack and break....some metals can corrode, terminals loosing contact... I bought a Maytag washer, that has been sitting for 12+ years....added water, and it poured out the bottom...main seal dried out and cracked....'Easy-To-Fix" was not exactly in my vocabulary....not to mention locating a repairman who would touch it.....your are more likely to hear, "Not worth fixing, scrap it and buy a new one!"...especially if it is anything more than replacing a belt!... just a side note...their all built exactly the same....no such thing as a Regular versus a Heavy Duty built version... advertise as: Maytag Gas Dryer.... in beautiful shape....has not been used in over 10+ years, worked then, current working condition unknown...may need cleaned out and lubricated...AS-IS, no warranties, no deliveries, asking $150.00 OBO.... if you want to really sell fast....consider pricing well under $100.00 Good Luck in your adventures of selling... |

Whirlpool/FSP does still make some parts for both your washer and dryer, but others require an on-line search.
If you're on your neighborhood's Nextdoor site, that's a good place to list it since interested parties will also be members from your local area. I still like craigslist, and can't comment on FB since I've never wanted any part of that scene. |
