Thanks John. I had no idea that the washers had porcelain tops. That sure adds a wrinkle.

Ours was the DG502
in white. It was a reliable dryer, ran nicely from 1967, through the 1980s. Easiest dryer ever to program!
I did not like the dark drum in a dark basement, but we had a flashlight with a built in magnet attached to the side.
I suggest that every three months or so, you vigorously scrub the drum vanes (moisture sensors) with a damp terry cloth. Preferably a different clean cloth for all three vanes. Keeps the sensors from gunking up.
Congratulations.

What's the difference in the Regular and Wash n Wear cyc
I was speaking to John (Combo52) last night and this just happened to come up in conversation. He stated that Maytag set the "regular fabrics" autodry mode (on the HOH dryers) to shut off when the clothes are just barely dry, so not to over dry them.
In fact (John) had complaints from every 3rd or 4th Maytag HOH owner saying the clothes "are not dry enough" when the dryer shuts off. He also said Maytag had a fix for this which replaced a capacitor on the circuit board, allowing the clothes to get more dry before it would shut off.
But back to the question. John said the "Wash n Ware" setting use the same drying tempertures, but will get the clothes "more dry" then the "regular" setting.
