This fall I picked up this Maytag washing machine. It was listed on Facebook marketplace. I haven't had a chance to check it out as of yet.

My aunt had the same AMP that ran perfectly until she ended up in Assisted Living and let it go with her place when it was sold. I tried to get the lid up a half inch to see it agitating but it always stopped when I was a kid. But my '84 511 Maytag sounds the same as that one did, same clunk to go to into spin, although it used to be called Damp Dry.

You mean belt, right? ;)
Never been inside an AMP transmission but I assume there's a lower o-ring seal like the helicals. The gearing inside these are the same as the first gen helicals, they just spin in the opposite direction. They also don't have the clutch washers. I can drag out my microfiche films if you need any part#'s. Respond with the model and serial number so we can decode them. |
