Here is a very useful document, especially for Maytag collectors, it is a parts identification manual published originally in '66, but has some updates all the way to '77. This guide shows major washer, dryer, combo and wringer parts and information. Sections include:
[I]Automatic, Dryer, Combination and Wringer Washer Serial No. Code[/I]
This is one of the best sections of the manual, it shows how to tell the exact month your automatic washer, dryer, wringer or combo was made from 1949 thru 1977 via the serial number!
[I]Maytag Electric Motor Codes[/I]
This section shows how to date the motor on your Maytag machine.
[I]Specification Changes[/I]
This is the other really neat section. It shows major specification changes and the date they happened to Maytag washers, dryers and combo's such as "Replaced unbalance mechanism with unbalance brake pads."
