The washer came like that originally since it’s a TOL Maytag A806 from 1979. The dryer is a Frankenstein of sorts since it originally started out life as a 1974 Maytag DE306, ended up getting set off to the side since I had to borrow some wiring off for a Maytag DG407 I restored back in 2019...

You need 80 to 90W gear oil, that’s what I put in mine when I rebuilt the transmission back in the spring of 2021. Has been holding up so far. Have another Whirlpool transmission I plan on rebuilding at some point, however I am going to experiment with putting corn head grease in than one...

To quote Harry Wormwood from Matilda: “Of course it’s cheating, nobody ever got rich being honest”

The machines and appliances they made many years ago were made for customers, not consumers. When consumers have a say (a focus group), everything goes down hill.

If the Maytag A9700S is from 1993, it will fit. If it’s newer than 1993, not certain if it will fit or not.

May remember the Maytag 806’s as well from that era.

If possible, maybe I’ll repost it to YouTube and give you credit/a shoutout. If you have a newer iPhone, make sure you are recording in 60fps. Also make sure you are recording horizontally so we can get a wide angle view and stereo sound.

From what I gather, the Soft Heat feature on the later Kenmore dryers in the 80’s and 90’s simply stepped the temperature down right before the cool down, thinking was if you only had to cool down a warm load of laundry as opposed to hot, it would reduce wrinkling since it would essentially be...

It’s not too difficult to create a YouTube account, just need to crest a Google account which essentially ties in a YouTube account to it, at least from what I remember.

Don’t know if you’ll be able to upload the full 40 minute video here on AW.

If you are logged in on YouTube, you tap the plus button, have three options for video, live, post. When you tap the upload option, it’ll give you access to the videos in the gallery on your phone. Once you tap the video you selected, can type in the tile and description of the video, then you...

I imagine the ‘drying temperature’ was determined by the load size. Probably tapered down quickly with smaller loads and delicate items, definitely took a good while with towels and bedding.

Do you have the YouTube app on your phone? If you do, can directly upload it to YouTube.

I’ve always wondered how the Soft-Heat modulating gas burners worked on those early 60’s Kenmore gas dryers, have some idea as to how they work, but a video would be able to convey that much, much better. Tried explaining how the modulating burner works to a friend of mine from the UK...

There was never a video made or uploaded of a Kenmore soft heat gas dryer with the burner tapering the flame down. Since the since is new and revamped, can easily upload video clips of that.

Those full height Kenmore 24” dryers are rare, even more rare in gas.

Sounds like a UK model. Hopefully the UK members are able to chime in and help on your Hotpoint Twin Tub.

Don’t think the Maytag DG606 was around in 1977 since the Maytag HOH’s were discontinued in 1976 and were superseded by the Maytag Stream Of Heat in 1976. Unless, it was a 1975 Maytag DG606 or DG806 that was in the dealer’s stock for awhile.

Ironically, reminds me of the Maytag 606 I’m trying to sell for $300 obo.

I kindly beg to differ, the Maytag HOH dries blankets more evenly than the SOH since the SOH has a tendency to ball things up. Since I’ve replaced the thermostats on my Maytag HOH franken dryer, is actually fairly quick and gentle. Even put in a 180F thermostat in for the high limit safety...
