About the Maytag E2L, E2LP and E2M Wringer Washers
Traditional Maytag wringer washers use a wash tub and agitator along with a separate wringer assembly for removing water from washed clothing. This period catalog documents many of the mechanical components that owners and restorers need to identify when maintaining these machines. The cover identifies the three model families, while individual diagrams specify their applicable models.

How to Find the Correct Maytag Wringer Washer Part
1. Identify the model. Confirm whether your machine is an E2L, E2LP, or E2M using its identification markings.
2. Choose the assembly. Find the relevant wringer, pump, motor, agitator, or frame section in the table above.
3. Locate the illustration callout. Read the part number printed next to the illustrated component.
4. Check the matching parts list. Confirm the component name and any model or configuration distinctions.
5. Verify before buying. Original numbers may have been superseded, discontinued, or used in different configurations.
Common Maytag Wringer Washer Parts to Identify
Wringer rollers, head and tension components
Printed pages 10–17 cover wringer-head parts, repair assemblies, the wringer cap and frame. These are useful starting points when identifying rollers, gears, shafts, tension components, and associated hardware.
Wringer post and safety clutch
Printed pages 18–21 show the wringer post and safety clutch assemblies. These mechanisms are safety-critical: do not bypass, modify, or defeat safety features.
Agitator, power unit and pump
Printed pages 22–27 contain references for the power unit, center assembly, and pump parts. The pump illustration is labeled for the E2LP model.
Electric motors, Briggs engine and E2M changeover parts
Printed pages 28–31 show electric motor and Briggs & Stratton engine references, drive belts, and E2M changeover assemblies. Verify the installed power configuration before identifying replacement components.
Vintage Maytag Washer Maintenance and Restoration Tips
Before beginning restoration, photograph your washer and record its model and any legible part numbers. Use the diagrams to identify missing or damaged components. Inspect hoses and seals for deterioration, confirm mechanical guards and safety mechanisms are present and functional, and get professional help with electrical wiring, drive mechanisms, and wringer repairs.
Safety note: Unplug an electrically powered washer before inspection. Wringer rollers can trap fingers, hands, clothing, and hair; moving parts and aging electrical systems can be hazardous. Do not operate a machine with damaged wiring or a defective safety mechanism. Historical parts drawings are not substitutes for qualified repair instructions.
