Maytag DE 306, Serial#672736 BW, update No progress except healing of burns to person...I was wrong about ignition of VOC solvent vapors--it was actually the pilot light of the gas water heater, close by the dryer and the reason for the delayed effect and the fireball from too much flammable...

Oct 1966 DE306, Aaaaaarrrrgh, slight setback I uncovered dryer enough to look at it from the rear. It was coated with lint everywhere. I cleaned it manually, removed the frayed belts and managed to activate the motor, but it would shut itself off. I thought I would spray some brake parts...

Maytag DE 306, Serial#672736 BW ? I have a 1974 Maytag Washer A107. The dryer has the same console design, but with only the timer dial and button. Were not the 60's models' top consoles different ? I found no information, stamping, plate other than the one inside the door, upper left corner...

I have an old Maytag Dryer...age, please? I am not sure if it is worth fixing yet. The motor buzzes only. It might be done. I have to excavate to investigate... Maytag Model DE 306 Serial#672736 BW 70's ? Thanks, p

Maytag A107 1974 model, no spin, au contraire, hein?! After much travail, soaking the stem with home brew penetrating oil--ATF+Acetone, 1:1 suspension--for a week plus, then trying to use the newer Whirlpool, Supco spanner wrench on the mounting stem, banging my head--the later model wrench fit...

Thanks! I saw that already, but thanks! I have to test the dryer before I buckle under to buying an over-priced, used part-- Ouch?! He knows what he has, but I can wait...I am not that desperate, hah?!

Anybody have a service manual for this one ? LAT9604AEE Serial#A0118420 KF March 1994 I have not discovered any problems yet. I have not installed it inside yet or tried all cycles. I hooked up cold water outside, it filled and drained, so far, so good... Thanks all!

I am looking for the Temp Control Switch for an old Whirlpool Dryer--PN 688712, I believe. WP Model LE5780XKW0 Serial#M21828288 http://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-switch-rotary-temp-688712-ap2996914.html NLA ? Or how to determine where it is set, since the stem is broken flush with...

Maytag A107 1974 model, no spin Could the lack of spin be due to failed tub mounting stem and tub bearing assemblies?

Maytag A107 1974 model, no spin I replaced the water level switch, renewed the tub seal / rubber gasket, replaced the belts. I removed the pump hoses to check for any blockage, all clear, I think. The pump turns and drains, but not completely, probably because it will not spin. It made it...
