HOH Gas Control unit Orifice size? Bizzare Thermocouple ? I had previously asked about increasing the orifice size of the gas control unit. Interestingly as I began investigating this issue I discovered the orifice was blocked significantly, maybe 50% or more. I first cleaned it using my...

Thank you so much for the parts links. Some progress images. I really appreciated a tip to look at e-bay, D-Jones. That's my typical first place to look but after the recommendation to follow your link to A-1 appliance to find the brush holder I didn't continue back to e-bay where I had been...

Ugh, I now need a new burner tube I now need a new Burner Tube - Part # 1245820 Mfg Part # Y302544 3-2544 as the baffles at the discharge end have deteriorated and are mostly gone. Oh well. Didn't expect this having replaced it about 10 years ago.

Thanks For the info I actually had found that detail but not the physical carbon brush holder which is all I really need. Found the brush and spring in the bottom pan as I began the cleanup process. You guys are a great source for finding unique items. I was actually going to try to modify...

Is the HOH model brush assembly that rides on the drum avail As identified in the topic, is there any availability for finding the brush and brush assembly for my HOH dryer? Just take a look at the image and you'll understand clearly the problem. This appears to be why the unit has been...

Montalban No, I kinda remember the adds running during "Love Boat". Yikes, does that date me or what? I think the adds were strictly for the 1977-78 Cordoba.

Converting A MT Gas HOH Dryer To Pilotless Ignition Do the Ricardo Montalban "rich Corinthian leather car seat"s come as part of the parting out? :) Bill

So when and if I get the HOH working correctly where do I ? So when and if I get the HOH functionality working correctly, where do I then look for applicable electronic ignition parts (I'm betting on this site someone might be cannibalizing an old unit) and what mfg or models should I look into...

They actually made an electronic starter for the DG606? If they actually made an electronic starter for the DG606 I might change my tune regarding reliance on a standing pilot? As I will have the unit apart, I might consider it if there is a wiring diagram and the components aren't obscenely...

Insulating the burner tube and adjusting the btu safely? I see your image but couldn't you use a product such as below to effectively insulate the tube? JC Performance 100% Virgin Basalt "Titanium" Lava Wrap Tested to withstand 1800°F of continuous exposure, UP TO 2500°F radiant heat Wrap...

You wrote that the Maytag burner output was throttled down? You wrote: Now the gas version is sort of crazy complex compared to the electric version. In the gas version, the burner is crammed in perpendicular to the drum at the very front of the cabinet. The flame cone sits directly under the...

What do you guys do with a stable of dryers??? I get it if you owned a laundromat but without timers and a coin box that wouldn't be too practical. Or do you have motels, service camps washing and drying kids clothing or is it strictly a love for such units? :) Bill

Again, great advice. I'm guessing you've done this a few times in the past. :) Bill

Advice for R&R'ing the Cabinet? Any "tips" for R&R'ing the cabinet shell, control panel and top surface from the tumbler and base? I have R&R'ed the rear panel to gain access to cleaning, lubing and replacing the belts on the unit but never needed to proceed beyond that. Obviously I can figure...

WOW! Thank you all!!! GREAT INSIGHT AND FEEDBACK!!!! WOW, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, especially Maranoman and DADoES, for your detailed information and how the system works. Very clever those engineers. I Had no idea this was called the "Halo of heat" dryer. In response to Maranoman's question...

The unit shuts down prematurely I don't know how the standing flame would be involved. The burner extinguishes when the unit prematurely shuts down. Your idea of replacing the timer is plausible as it has a funky behavior and really doesn't appear to control the temp. Pushed, it simply...

I need Additional information to identify the issue I'm not sure what component you are speaking of, So I'm attaching the original Schematic from the back of the DG606 and a viewable url .... kinda, parts list. Maybe from it you can see where the component resides in the unit. Then, can you...

I need help for my 1974 Maytag DG606 gas dryer which prematurely stops with a chime despite the content being still wet. The vent is clear and I serviced the unit a year ago with new belts, cleaning and oil and greasing. I really just want to fix it .... not replace it. Help!
