Some of you may remember that awhile ago Elginkid and I picked up a 1975 Series 1 Maytag A806. This is what we found inside the matching dryer we just picked up.

It's so thick!
So thick it wouldn't fit and broke through the protective screen.

Oh good grief!! Makes me shudder all the way through intensely. The lady is lucky she never caused a fire.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
Let me guess, the set was sold because the dryer was taking FOREVER to dry the clothes. UGH!! Sometimes I wish Darwinism would remove more people off of this planet in a quicker manner, lol. Talk about appliance abuse!

She was originally just going to sell the washer because the timer motor crapped out. But we told her to call us when she wanted to sell the dryer. She's moving this week, and it was easier to sell it to us and have us move it down from the third floor. 
As soon as I get enough money to replace the timer motor, lint filter this set will supersede the A206/DE306 as the daily driver set. I still like the black Powerfin, but the lighted control panel always wins. Bright Lights and Chrome...it's the little things.

Until then, Natasha, get Moose and Sqvirrel,

Hello
From across the pond, well we have the same numptys here as well, last week i picked a Hoover dryer with exactly the same fluff pancake.....sometimes I think some members of the public should not be allowed near these machines, they have probably gone out and bought a brand new machine that will suffer the same fate
Gary
Ps yes lights and chrome))

Hi guys , wow that Maytag dryer lint looks like a block of carbon just a ready to explode!!!! Glad to here you will have a lighted set to use anyway!!
Picked up an old 1960`s Servis dryer recently and its lint bag was also filled like a brick!!! probably why the top was scorched from overheating...Lol

Makes one wonder why the "CLEAN LINT FILTER AFTER EACH LOAD"
warnings disappeared over the years.

Not the first time I have seen that!
I recall as a youngster I discovered a similar situation with a relatives fairly new HOH. When I showed her the disk of lint she exclaimed "no wonder it has been taking so long to dry"-----------well DUH!
I can recall sarcastically suggesting she read the operating manual! A completely un-American act. We just don't do instructions very well.

I forgot the other part...Dave suggested to her (before we saw the lint filter) that maybe the dryer vent didn't get cleaned regularly in her apartment complex, and she told us that it was never really connected to the dryer vent because the duct tape wouldn't hold the vent hose in place, and it kept falling off.

Looks like my grandma's machine. She hardly ever cleaned the lint filter on her Whirlpool. I pulled it out once and it was so full that the lint started to fall off the filter and down inside the dryer, must have been at least half an inch think (and we all know how large Whirlpool lint screens are). Anyway I made a point to check it regularly after that.
