Its a Maytag

My Sears brand washing machine lasted 24 years. Came with a GREAT manual and the couple repairs it needed were a piece of cake. Milady upgraded to a high efficiency front load Maytag two years ago. A couple days ago it blew a fuse mid cycle and she couldn't even open the door. It had all my britches in it and my one remaining pair was getting pretty rank so she had the local repair guy out. he said ya, no repair manual to be had. Normally a tech sheet is taped inside the machine but not the case on this one. He didn't know how to repair it unless we call Maytag. he also said cost is likely the same as a new one. So, we should just throw it away. its a model MHWE200XW00 serial HL12229330 FWIW. Say it ain't so Joe. Karl

I drilled and tapped the transmission housing of my 1970's (60's?) Maytag so I can pump in more gear oil when it gets noisy, with an outboard motor lower unit bottle-top pump.

I bought a Maytag washer and a gas dryer around 1990. The washer has needed a plastic water fitting about every 8 years and the dryer ran perfectly until last year when the bearings gave out. Parts and diagrams were easily available online. Both machines were simple and of robust design and construction.
