This machine unfortunately had a serious failure. It was in really good shape so we stole the top and wiring harness and bleach, dispenser reservoir and motor.

The whole machine was in really good shape Other than the screw coming out of the input shaft of the transmission.
The machine didn’t have much use in it’s life. If anybody wants any of the remains, get in touch with me, I can put them in touch with where it’s at. It’s still sitting there waiting for the scrap guy. We just figured we’d save the top in case somebody wanted that. | ||

Save the wash basket too! I wanted one at one time and couldn’t’t get a new one. Maytag kept sending me defective wash baskets and telling me to keep them. | ||

Dead 806 washer
Hi Sean reply number six the machine is in the hands of my friend, Bob in Cleveland it was one of his customers machines, I just helped him part it out. It’s still laying there waiting for scrap pick up
Bob has the complete top wiring, harness and motor and bleach dispenser reservoir. If somebody wants all or part of it, I can put you in touch with him. I’m sure he will sell the parts. He didn’t really want them, but just thought they were too good to let them get scrapped, the whole machine fixed somebody wanted to grab the rest of it and do a major transmission repair. Hi Sean, timer isn’t timer. Dials are not that hard to find for these machines but Bob may be willing to sell them. I have not yet found the timer for your 63 whirlpool. I may not have one I went through the timers a month or so ago looking for one for Bob Orear, which I also did not find, I will keep a lookout for it but it’s going to be a hard time to find I’m afraid.

I might try to make another repair attempt to the timer on my Whirlpool, but I’m not so certain how it’ll work or will hold up for that matter. I’ll keep on being persistent about trying to find a timer. Hopefully one turns up in your parts stash or area.
If I can’t find a timer, may consider on selling them to another collector who will be savvy in trying to 3D print a new cam assembly or possibly trade for a mid to late 50’s Kenmore 2 speed pair. May also considering on selling my Maytag A606 and DG407 this summer but will have to see. | ||

Timer for a 63 whirlpool mark 12
Hi Sean, I thought it was just the delicate cycle that didn’t work properly. Why not just keep using the washer as it is, I can’t remember the last time I ever use the delicate cycle on my 71 lady Kenmore, for example.
You can just wash things for less time if you are washing sweaters or something, and let them soak a bit whirlpools not particularly hard on clothing. John | ||

I may just end up doing that that but here’s one thing I do at times especially with my Maytag A806. Sometimes, if I’m washing a small load of laundry that isn’t heavily soiled, will use the gentle cycle to not only reduce wear and tear on clothes, but the machine itself.
I suspect that’s what the original owner did which is why it’s still around after all these years. I’ll make another repair attempt to see what will happen. | ||
