No,She is powered up ,buckled up, running and vented.

Yes, but to look at it didn't register in my head.It has that pathway already made for itself running in the same place for 30 years.After much thought though, Slowly as it turns,It needs full,clean contact all the way around. I seem to have somehow caused, or found, another problem.This dryer...

I had still been fighting dry times /controls/capacitors and excessive cursing with alcohol.The magic answer ??The brush assembly and slip ring.All of my brush components were new,so I only did a quick continuity check at the angle where accessible.Well,I opened the back up to find zero...

DE806 Brush components-Left side of pic is new spring & brush,right side is from used 806 dryers.Look how tarnished the copper plate is.Best clean the copper plate,both sides,spring tips,carbon brush to spring area.I actually checked continuity through mine-----nothing.This little generator is...

Excellent idea,piggyback off the load side of the running stat.

Brian-Now you have my brain firing, thinking of delay on make, delay on break, relay's,adding another bell---Great idea on the cool down stat.I have them on my truck.I wonder why maytag thought about the bell ringing before it was finished running?

Thanks Brian. Let us all get my brain right on sequence of operation-ok-Wet clothing causes power produced by brush assembly to be routed to ground.As moisture in clothing starts to dry out,voltage starts charging the capacitor atop the 3-3049 control.When the correct voltage has...

Soldering the connections removes the doubt ,Therefore you can move on to your next guess.I will finish with what I feel are the most aggravating issues of de806 inconsistant drying with some new pictures.

Notice the different circuit boards they used inside the 3-3049 black box.It's as if they are just as confused as I while trying to figure dry times.

I wanted to share my DE806 electronic changes as prescribed by kenmore71 (mark).This is a 3-3049 control that I soldered a pigtail harness to test mark's different ideas and capacitors.I am in hvac so I have plenty of wiring and I cut the silly connectors off the original harness

Thanks for all the advice,I am also thinking it would be foolish NOT to buy the 606 if the seller is truthful about it's history and condition.I will email the seller right now.I appreciate Y'all---Duke

Good advice John, Except I'm a machine nut case.This 606 is a time machine sitting unused for 30 years.If I see it in person ,I will adopt it like some kinda puppy.I have issues

Thank you Tyler, I have communicated with some really nice people on this site. I've never found that in other tech/hobby sites.Everyone here seems to want to fulfill your dream. On some automotive sites,they will buy it, steal it, before you can even make an offer. I am starting...

I have posted my desire for a back lighted white maytag A806 or even an A700 or A702. I am not into fashion as matched sets so much, but rather the admiration of the machine itself. I have an opportunity to save a really nice A606 but am mentally frozen. No back light, No cold rinse option, No...

John, After some research,I stand corrected,respecfully--Duke

GAS Dryer combo52 ??--Try running a load without the vent pipe connected?Is that the advice we want to give new folks dealing with gas??I am not a pro maytag guy,I AM a master hvac guy.Somehow I am confused about carbon monoxide.I will get another beer out of fridge and do a shot as I am...

OK-- If you want to mess around with a badly pitted shaft go to ebay and enter A4298 seal.

After more research Beekeeney and redcarpetdrew have your answer.I think it is seal 6009841.Good luck getting the appliance veterans to help though .Hell, I can't get em to say you're welcome.I am finding certain techs are too learned to be here.Maybe we should pay extra.

Figure what the machine is worth to YOU, Compare models and part numbers on the web.Go to different part companies websites and searches as they differ greatly. You can learn your machine quickly and what will swap.I kicked out 2 wives that looked OK over the years but kept my ugly ass A310.My...

Thanks, but Rockingham NC is only 2 hours away and I have been assured by Norgeway (Hans) and frigidaireguy (Bob) that they will keep me in the loop on the Ron Jones sale for his family.
