gentle wash with fast spin Christina, Not sure if you knew, but I believe all center dial two speed maytags provide fast spin on the permanent press cycle regardless of the wash speed selected. I know that my 806 does. You will waste some water, but it may help you not to keep running to the...

dryer knob It is the right knob. See reply #7 above. You will see this same knob on other maytag highlander dryers.

Lots of Maytag Highlander History Christina, Type in "Maytag Highlander Dryer" in the search box at the top of the forum. The first entry should be the history of the sale and acquisition of my dryer with lots of photos. Checkout all the other Highlander washers and dryers that pop up- lots...

Maytag door I picked up this same model dryer a year ago (model 67C). This is the original door, although it has a friction catch on the inside instead of a magnet. When I purchased the dryer, it was determined to have been a 1958 model, not the 1960's. I guess it is possible that Maytag...

DE806 David, If you get no takers, would you be willing to part it out? I'm looking for the lint filter and the electronic control (assuming that they are in good shape...) Thanks, David

Damp Dry Thanks for your remedies. Too technical for me, but I can pass them along to my Maytag repair guru. You're right - nobody irons damp dry clothing anymore. I do own a lot of 100% cotton sweaters that I do like to damp dry and then finish flat on a bed or table.

On my Maytag DE806, the dryer always shuts off in less than one minute on the Damp Dry setting. This happens if the drum is empty (OK) or full of wet laundry. All the other settings work perfectly. I know of one other DE806 that had the same problem. In fact, there is a video of a 906...

Maytag tub size I'm not sure about your particular model, but my A806 uses 19 gallons of water on a full fill. There are 7.48 gallons of water per cubic foot. 19 divided by 7.48 is 2.54 cubic feet. I realize that the tub is actually somewhat larger than this, but in a top loader this is the...

chrome lint filter I have already contacted the seller in an attempt to get the lint filter alone for the asking price of the machine. I've been trying to get a chrome filter ever since I got my 806 set. Wish me luck, David

mop head This sounds like the mop I have. Mine is called a "rollermatic" and I have bought replacement heads at the local hardware store as well as on line. If this is what you need, be sure to measure the width of the head as it came in more than one size. Good luck, David

any highlander experts? Let me start by saying that the day I purchased this dryer I found a 67C user's guide on ebay for $6.99! It turned out to be not only an interesting piece of vintage history but saved me some real money as well. I dried my first load of mixed fabrics (mostly towels and...

Highlander dryer Mea culpa - you're absolutely right, I should have thanked you for your role in helping me to get this machine.

Highlander dryer The maytag dryer is finally mine! I actually found a NIB original door seal at a local parts store that was as soft and pliable as the day it was manufactured. Brian kindly snapped it in place in under 30 seconds. I want to thank Tomturbomatic and dnastrau for their...

Highlander dryer I went to see this dryer today and I really want it. The only problem is that the rubber door seal is shot (worse than the photos show) and I'm afraid that running the dryer might be a fire hazard in its present condition. This is a model 67C and of course the seal is NLA...

I add ammonia along with the regular amount of detergent to every wash EXCEPT those with chlorine bleach. Gets rid of grease and oil stains before they get a chance to set. Shampoo often works on new stains as it's designed to get oil out of hair.

I was doing laundry last night and my Maytag A806 timer stopped advancing. I can manually advance the timer and it will perform all functions (agitate, fill, spin, etc.) correctly; it just stays stuck indefinitely in whatever position you put it in. The serial number ends in QM, hence the date...

I know this has been discussed in the past, but I forgot how one determines the manufacture date based on the letters at the end of the appliance's serial number. Can someone help? My A806 serial number ends in OM, the DE806 ends in KW. Thanks a lot in advance, David

mystery machine It's a Westinghouse.

STPP Where does one buy STPP? Is it sold as STPP or is there a brand name one should ask for? What is the amount for a TL washer, FL washer, and a dishwasher? I am interested in trying out the product and seeing if performance is improved as much as many people seem to think it will. David

westinghouse stove Where in New England is it? Any idea about price they might be looking for?
