Maytag Wringer Washers
Start by using the photo ID Chart with serial number reference, combined with tub shape, wringer, and worn part; then match your E, J, N, E2, J2, or N2 family to model-specific service information. Disconnect power or stop the engine and release roller tension before service. Use the guides here to distinguish roller, agitator, seal, and drive work before ordering Maytag wringer washer parts.

About this library
Maytag wringer washers are durable vintage machines, but the correct repair path starts with identification. This library helps owners of square- and round-tub machines document the model, understand the assembly they are servicing, and use service information before ordering parts.
Many thanks to the Maytag Collectors Club for allowing us to use information gathered by their members. Please consider joining their group at https://www.maytagcollectorsclub.org/index.html
Start with the machine in front of you
Using the Maytag ID Chart, select the model number that matches the picture to verify if your model has available Amish-made replacement parts offered by Cottage Craft Works.com. You can also match the serial numbers listed on the ID Chart with your model. Finding the serial number is not an easy task. On the newer models, it is usually posted on the very front of the machine, but over the years it may have worn or been pulled off. On older models, it was most often stamped on the outside of the tub close to the top edge.
Work safely around the wringer
Disconnect electric power before inspection. Release roller tension before servicing the wringer, keep hands and loose clothing away from the rolls, and do not defeat a safety device. For transmission, wringer-head, electrical, or gas-engine work beyond your experience, use a qualified repair professional and a model-matched service manual.
Choose the next guide by the job
Use model identification first; then follow the agitator, roller safety, or manual-reading guide. The troubleshooting guide helps separate a visible wear item from a deeper drive or seal issue before you shop.
