Mfg in June, 1996. I sure hope that isn't the permanent routing for the vent hose. That hanging loop I see will collect lint/moisture... Otherwise, a very nice standard capacity, single speed setup with electronic dry control! Might I enquire what it set you back?

Stack details
I picked it up for $200. The venting is temporary. I have to pull out a shelf and slid it over, I have the metal duct ready to go. I may sell it, the dryer capacity is a bit smaller than I need when I dry comforters, but I may settle for it and just take the comforters to the laundromat. Thx for the info.

Cool!
I have never seen a Maytag stackable either. How much does the washer hold? A video of washer would be interesting.

If I remember right, the washer is 16 lbs. Same as a small tub regular model...

These were sold in Australia for a short while. I always liked them. Have fun with it!
before and afters
The pics are before I cleaned the tub out, the fabric softner dispenser was soaking. I will try to do the video asap. I like the sloshing sound it makes when it agitates. On large load it fills to the top of the tub which I really like. I was able fit in 6 large bath towels and a few cloths and it had plenty of wash capacity. The dry time was accurate as well. I m pleased.

Dryer.
What size is the dryer and does it compare to the Halo of Heat or the newer size in capacity and design?
This one is new to me,

Ever notice that the new stacked washers and dryers of this style these days all seem to be WCI with a plastic tub? I have seen them badged as Frigidaire, GE, Kenmore, etc...

From what I know, Isn't Whirlpool making its own stack still? I think that they are even making a Maytag badged one now. It is on the Maytag website.

Thanks
I've seen WCI in several threads, and had no clue what it meant, and was too embarrassed to ask.

Nice Maytag!
Never understood Whirlpool's penchant for locationg the controls at the top of that model. Diffucult for the vertically challenged.
Methinks the washer is smaller in capacity to accomodte the smaller (in depth/capacity) dryer.
If electric how many watts is the heater?
If gas how many BTUs?
I woeuld imagine somewhat "weaker" than what one would expect in a full-sized US manchine.
What about the Aussie veriosn? What are the heat inputs on that puppy? Where was it made? I would imagine dedicated speical-purpose 30a circuits are rare.
Thanks all.

I'm giving serious thought to going back to a stacked unit like this. I'm kicking myself for getting rid of my electronic Maytag set. I like the convienience of a top loader. I called Whirlpool to ask about the WGT 3300S and temp select for washer. Their answer was "if your water heater is set a 120 degrees, the HOT selection will be about 110 degrees". They did not specifically say that the temps were dumbed down. When I asked what would happened if my water heater were set at 140 degrees there was silence. So does anybody know if this unit dumbs down hot water temp? Reviews on the Frig units seem to be not good and this is the only large combo I can find with TL washer.

Installation...
Installing the Dependable Care model stack is easier in small spaces. The dryer goes in first in it's stand so you can hook up the vent and power. Then you slide in the washer unit part way, hook up a power umbilical, fill and drain hoses then slide it the rest of the way back. If space is REALLY tight or the washer bib is not easy to get to, you can pre-connect the fill hoses to the faucets before sliding the washer in far enough to connect to the fill valve. The drain, too. I've pulled the front cover of the washer, disconnected the drain hose from the pump, connected it to the standpipe, then slid in the washer and reconnected the hose to the pump.
The Whirlpool is a one piece and can be a real pill to hook up in a narrow space...
