$15.00

[goatfarmer]

bought this lovely Maytag gas dryer this afternoon! Went to an auction, on a whim, and there it was, sitting in a basement next to a Whirlpool DD washer.

 

BTW, I've looked hi, and lo for a model number, and have been unable to locate.

If I was going to guess I'd say it's a DE700. For $15.00 that's great find. It looks like it should clean up nicely.

Update as of 7:45pm

Somehow I managed to overlook the fact that this is a gas dryer. That being the case it's possibly a 741c, since that models gas burner access door is low profile and wouldn't show up in that first photo.[this post was last edited: 7/19/2014-21:46]

Gas, three temps, timed dry only. 641C?

Forgot

The original decal on top, or most of it!

I like that Maytag design - fifteen bucks - jeesh, that was worth the whim of curiosity.

MT HOH Gas Dryer

Good buy Kenny, the model # tag should be inside the gas burner access door on the steel frame to the right of the burner assembly.

I have the same dryer in pink that I was in the process of converting to electric ignition and rebuilding. These are interesting dryers and since I worked for Maytag when there were still lots of these dryers around I know them inside out and while they make an interesting collectable I would not want to use one on a regular basis. I do have some parts and lots of knowledge if anyone wants help restoring it.

Thanks, John. I picked up a similar set in pink from Travis a month or so ago. Between the two of them, I'll get a working dryer I'm sure!

DG700/701?

Since that has the "gold dots" on the glass panels instead of the stripes, wouldn't that be a DG700/701 instead of a 641?

741C/ 625150SP
