Scott, I want to contradict you on a couple of points. The early ones had Wash'n'Wear "speed" button that as normal/slow. There still was no Perm Press cycle on the dial at that point. In fact, I think that was only for the early 806 models. Family friends had an early 606 with just single wash cycle and soak cycle. I don't think the Perm Press cycle on the dial came out until 1969 and maybe 1970 at the latest. I think 606 models at this point still had H/W, W/C, and C/C. It wasn't too soon after this version that Maytag broke out the 4 temp buttons to be H/W; H/C; W/C and C/C for both the 407 FabricMatic & the 606. Kind of like the earliest 606 only had 3 water level buttons, which my parents friends' model had. Other than the 906, Maytag was the last manufacturer to offer a separate/specific Perm Press cycle. I think Maytag broke out the temp buttons during the early 1970s "energy crisis" when electric rates went skyrocketing. And when they did, the lower-end models with just 3 temp buttons had only cold rinses. Not until the 06 series came out did Maytag have a cold rinse with the warm wash. Before that, the warm wash button yielded warm rinse and the only way to get cold rinse was to push the cold button after wash fill.
