I always found it odd that our 206 had the black agitator with aqua lint filter/softener insert. I presumed that at some point during its life before the machine ended up with us, the filter/softener assembly had been replaced.
After seeing pix and reading many Maytag threads here, it became clear that Maytag was placing aqua filter assemblies on black agitators at the factory. It still seems strange to me, and bit lame on Maytag's part to have made the agitator a two-tone affair. RCD or Dan, can you enlighten me about the logic behind this arrangement?
Also, I agree that any dryer with the same color scheme on its panel will be a match. Our DG806 was a replacement for an electric model that came with the 206 washer. When we bought our house in 1990, there was only a gas connection for a dryer, so we had to switch out the gold electric for a white gas. The machines were in the garage so we didn't care. Even if it were gold, the 806 wouldn't have been an exact match because the panel was lighted, but any non-lighted panel will blend in perfectly.
