Here’s mine!
Not quite done restoring them yet, but here they are: a 1978 A-208 washer and a DE-408 stream of heat dryer. This is one set I’ll never part with.

Here's my 1994 Maytag.....
DWU9921AAX.
It still performs flawlessly and has had only one minor repair - the rubber boot on the latch for the detergent door. The weak spot seems to be the lower rack. I am on the 3rd or 4th one now. They seem to start rusting away within months of replacement. The top rack is still the original one and has no signs of rust at all. I will probably never find another replacement rack so when this one rusts out, that will be the end. The "normal" cycle always works fine for me. I save up dishes in the machine for a week before running the cycle. No pre-rinsing - I just put dirty dishes in and let them sit. I don't even run the "rinse & hold" cycle. Dishes always come out sparkling clean.

Just installed this gem last week. Early 1991 EWU1005 reverse rack. These were the last of the updated 04 series with the direct drive pump. By the end of ‘91 these were just a memory.

Mystery solved
Happy Maytag month. A while back I posted about watching Mama's Family, there was an episode where mama had a Maytag wringer washer with a timer on the front. Looks just like my moms Maytag without the timer. Season 4 episode 14. Sins of the mother. Thinking about buying it just so I'll have it, you can check it out on line. You can see my moms Maytag in my profile picture.Although Jane Pauley is not my mom lol.

1955 Maytag 102P
If we are going to have a May Maytag thread we better get an AMP based washer added. 😊
Can anyone identify which model all three AMP era badges came from? Ben This post was last edited 05/03/2022 at 14:53 | ||

Similar to the set I have in avocado. One thing I did 2 years ago was I installed a low heat 120F thermostat in the DG306 since the cycling thermostat was acting wonky and the high limit thermostat kept on kicking the burner off since the cycling thermostat wasn’t working properly causing the sensitive high limit thermostat to kick the burner off, ever since I put a low heat thermostat in I haven’t had the burner kicked off by the high limit thermostat and seems to dry a bit faster. One observation I made was the front of the cabinet around shroud/halo would be quite warm to the touch and as the cycle progressed, it would be cooler and cooler to the point where it was just lukewarm just before the cool down part of the cycle. Since it pretty much was cooling down before the cool down, t-shirts were barely warm by the time it completed the drying cycle.
I think I may have invented the Maytag Soft Heat dryer since putting a low heat cycling thermostat in. | ||

The high limit thermo in this dryer was incredibly weak. I don't think temps reached much beyond 95F until I replaced it. The damper pads were very dry in the washer. Both units were preserved under a very thick coat of nicotine (can be seen in the plastic console covers). I had to fully disassemble and clean then to rid of that smoker stank.

Maytag 810 set!
My family had the 810 set with gas dryer - lasted many years. The washer performed flawlessly and never needed a repair. The dryer was repaired a few times. I know there was a problem with the gas valve. I heard this from a few maytag owners that the washers usually outlived the matching dryers. I knew 2 other people that had the 710 model one had a matching dryer the other had a GE dryer that went with it. The 510 was a big seller cause it was cheaper and many people settled for the Large capacity fabric-matic.

Just moved this weekend and had mentioned to my Grandpa earlier in the week that I was looking for a washer and dryer and wouldn't you know it; he had his old dryer in storage. When he said it was a Maytag from the 90s I immediately jumped at the chance to grab it. It sat in storage for 10+ years and fired right up with no problem when we plugged it in, and I think it cleaned up real nice
