Been a rough week. Recently had the car oil changed. I started seeing "spots". Checked. had to put a quart in. Took it to my "guy".... they didn't tighten filter/pan!
BUT, the other day, I did a load of laundry. Fine. another one.... motor sounded odd, didn't totally empty,... I called "Ed". THANKFULLY, it was the pump...26 yrs old! He told me, after seeing the model.. "This is a REAL Maytag". So, after $169.50, back in business. It's far better than buying a new Speedqueen. This post was last edited 08/31/2018 at 20:42 | ||

I've had a few repairs done to my set. Last year,
I replaced the gas jet on the dryer. They really still look AND work like they just came out of the box. It's well worth repairing them.
On the way home from the garage (w/ the car), I thought, OK... NOW let's hope the washer can be saved. A little frustrating few days, but all worked out. Thank God ! | ||

Hey John
Frustrating stuff, but I'm glad all is well with the car and the Maytag now!
I'm with you. Keep the older machines going as long as possible! If we eventually HAVE to replace our washer/dryer, I'd actually like to go older than the ones we currently have. I need to find an "Ed" in my area. My mom has a repair guy who might actually be willing to replace parts on older machines. When the time comes that one of ours needs repair, I may check with him.

I don't know about others but I really don't like the frontload washers. Front loaders were the only kind of washer I had ever used but when we got our house the washer and dryer came with it. They aren't like vintage or anything but they are older and the washer is a top loader. Both washer and dryer are kenmore. Not super deluxe but not totally basic either. I can't believe how much better I like a top loading washer.
