Filter close-up.

 

[toggleswitch2]

Free lint included! Shown partially removed.

In this shot it is located underneath the fine screen between the inner and outer potions of the filter assembly.

The view is of the part that fits against the back of the drum.

The female part of the filter (shown above) fits to this male post at the rear of the drum.

Plugged her in and she squealed like a stuck pig.

15a 125v rated plug on a 1,440 watt appliance. Methinks a 20a one would be better.......

The power (flex) cord is quite thick.

The vent openng is just greater than 3 inches in diameter. 76mm.

 

[toggleswitch2]

Time to open her up.

a classic Halo-of-Heat, with heating coils in the front. Nice beefy Maytag motor, too.

Drum sits in felt-lined circular opening in both front and rear portions of drum.

Here is another shot of the drum.

Note air intake mesh of holes in front (by loading door) that sits just after the heating coil.

It looks like there is really not much to this dryer at all....very modular in construction. Thanks for posting the pics of the insides.

Basically the drum that drives the belt is fine, it's the belt that drives the fan blower that was brittle and shot.

Ordered two. Let's see if they are atually available.

It was laid on its front in order to thread the drum belt over the motor pulley and the idler pulley.
