That's what a good washing machine is

Good Maytag I wished they still made them like that

Yes that is a great washing machine which puts this new stuff to shame!

Got a set myself. Need to replace the washer's damper pads, and looking for instructions made this pop up. Nice.

This washing machine helped get 4 kids through high school with soccer, hockey, and basketball games, causing almost daily use! The genius "burnt tire" alarm was recently tripped, leading to a $12 belt purchase that will once again rejuvenate this masterpiece of 80's engineering! "Get a new washer?" Hell no! This thing is invincible and only requires minimal maintenance to keep in the fight! "Viva la 80's!"

I have this machine but it's shaking violently and moving I've tried everything what can the possible problems be 😢 I love this machine

i met a women that her husband was a field tech for Bendex washer machine company,,,, yep they had front loaders in 1934 WOW...

i just work on a 1973 lady kenmore washer... and a week later only one block from that home i worked on 1974 lady kenmore washer... Haha...

I had the LA712 model. Purchased new in 1987. In 2021 the white porcelain tub paint was breaking apart and flaking off so I called Maytag about a replacement tub. The reps response was "Let me get this straight...you have a 34 year old model 712?! Really?! We don't make parts for that model anymore!" Broke my heart to give it up. I went to get a new Maytag but was told Maytag is not what it used to be so $1200 later I now have a Speed Queen TR7 top load. Pretty happy with.

If I could find a rebuilt like this one I buy it in a nano second. Todays' machine just dont stand a chance against these beauties that do 1000% better wash than today's machine.

My grandparents used to have this exact same washing machine. It's too bad they are not made to last like this today.

There is something so relaxing about the sound of the washing machine

Not enough water in the washer for the amount of clothes loaded into the washer-tub!

Please make more laundry videos! Especially with button up shirts lol.

Are you sure you're suppose to pore the soap in the center?

Yeah that's a great washer and I to do not use a permanent press cycle I feel exactly the same

I have almost the same exact washer as this the LA612 model. It adds the option of a delicate cycle and agitates at half speed. I bought this and the matching electric dryer about 8 years ago for $100.

This looks like the washing machine they had on the Child Psychiatric Unit at The University of Iowa Hospitals and clinics. It was used daily. I was on that unit in 1986, 1991, and 1992. I remember being in the room on one occasion when it went into the first spin cycle when they still were in the original building. I was surprised at how it shook. It went with them when they moved into the hospital. It was a workhorse.

This washer was way ahead if it's time. The tub slightly indexes like modern washers do.

Still have it?

I have owned this exact washer since 1988. It recently started running from one cycle to the next without stopping. I will start it on the 'regular fabrics' cycle and it may shut off at the 'permanent press' off. Sometimes it keeps on going around. Can someone tell me which part likely needs to be replaced?

Oh wow! I just grabbed this up because mine broke. Love older washers. New ones only last me 3-4 years, sooo We figured someone just didn’t want to move it, We just dragged it up a flight of stairs. Omg 😳 Heavy! I came home and typed in old heavy Maytag. Yours popped up first and I was like this is 32 years old. It’s identical. Lol. I just cleaned it up and started a load. Score! Thx 💜

I have one almost like that. I bought the Maytag used 17 years ago from a repair shop. I have had two belts replaced, a relay box refurbished since. The washer still works but not 100%. The gears in the transmission have probably worn down, so I can only wash small loads. If I wash a big load, the agitator won't move and make awful nosies. To wash a large load, I first set to small load setting, as the agitator starts to move, I add more washing quickly and add more water using an external hose. I hope it will keep working since I dislike the modern washers. Any suggestion on how to repair the transmission? I am not mechanically inclined.

What's the size of the drum? Thank you

iT was really trippy watching this on 2x speed. For me, it was the vintage Kenmores. I loved those washers. They weren't made as well, but wow, they had the features and bells and whistles.

I’ve been trying to figure out how old mine is. Mine is exactly the same except it has a slow and fast option. I think it’s from the 1990s

I have the matching Maytag natural gas dryer, from ‘87, and it’s still working good

I would love to see the full cycle of the PERM PRESS! Absolutely beautiful sounding machine

Finally, a real washer!

A real washer! None of this HE CRAP!

I have the 1981 Maytag set, both are like new!

I have the same washing machine. Couple of questions: Where do you put bleach? Also ive been having a problem with the fabric softener not draining, any ideas on how to fix that?

...Simpler is better.

I ,at one time,thought I was a strange person,because I was using/interested in Mom's A806 when I was about 8 .I never realized how many people are interested in the humble washing machine.

That's exact same washing machine I had years ago I wish I still had it and brought it with me to my new home love to find another one with the matching dryer I'd give up my front loader washers machines in a second

Very nice. I am having an A212S delivered tomorrow, very excited about it.

Awesome machine! I’m going to buy one of these someday for sure, I’d like just a standard capacity fabric matic model. I don’t have tons of laundry so the bigger tub isn’t necessary for myself, but these machines are so nostalgic

What is model/serial number of this washer please?

I purchased my house and it came with a pair of Maytag washer/dryer. I tried to determine the age of them but no success. Washer LA9800 serial 203129 BY. Anyone help ?

i searched your channel for maytag to see the other video. this one is the only result.

Had a set like this in my old house. I came close to hauling it to my new house. It was easily repairable. New house had the same model dryer and a Maytag Neptune that died a month after we moved in. I did buy a brand new Maytag washer but definitely not built like they were use to. Electronics and flimsy parts. Hope yours last a long time. The dryer has been running since 1986 and I’d repair it myself in a heartbeat

I used to have one exactly like that with the matching dryer loved it wish they still make them they're hard to find if you have one keep it there's something wrong with it get it fixed I wish I did instead of getting a new washer and dryer

that's the kind of agitator i want! for the fact that it moves both ways, not just one way!

Where can I go to get this machine in Tucson with thanks in advance

ASAP SETTING HOW TO START. OH. IT'S WATER ALL OVER..

How much u want for it?

Should I buy the new maytag commercial washer?

CAN U EXPLAIN HOW I CAN CLEAN FILTER, LIKE OTHER MACHINES

I have an '84 A712 washer and dryer set... in ALMOND!! I am so afraid to replace them if and when something goes wrong. I wonder if it is worth a repair. Reading all the complaints about newer models, I am hesitant.
