Just bought the exact dryer, not much info out there. Any chance you know the production year? I'm guessing 1983 based off the washer (Maytag) I bought and the history of the ownersRecently acquired this set on E-bay. Both are in great shape and need no repair. In fact the guy was washing his sheets when I got there to pick them up. I guess he didn't have time the night before !!??

Filtering isn't via flow by the motor-driven (drain) pump. There's a water-pumping channel in the agitator that on on the counterclockwise stroke spews water into the filter pan which sits on top. Thus, the agitator "burps" water into the filter.Curious...
Why do they call it a "burpilator"?

I didn't think so.No filtering devredxat on lowest wwFer level
I don't recall these being very good machines, lots of pot metal and noise. The dryers were even more goofy, they pressurized the drum with a big pinwheel. Every other dryer built in the free world has a negative pressure in the drum, which minimizes the lint that would find it's way out. I recall working on one of them that had a solid block of lint filling the entire cabinet... at least it wasn't a real fire hazard at that point, no room for enough air for sustained combustion!I watched the video.
I don't like that type of filtering design at all.
And how efficient would it "burp" with a low water level?
It does have a nice fast draining before the spin, but that's it.![]()

Is your Maytag washer with the lint filter in the agitator? If so, that's why nofiltering on lpwest water ;eve;/I didn't think so.
My Maytag doesn't filter on low water level either.
But I rarely use that setting, mostly medium, large, or extra large.
Yes, it's got that aquamarine/blue agitator.Is your Maytag washer with the lint filter in the agitator? If so, that's why nofiltering on lpwest water ;eve;/
LOL!Some in the past have made comments to the effect that those dryers could flock a Christmas tree

Still, it's amazing any at all have survived, let alone in working condition... Kudos to whoever wants to keep them around, I honestly think every design should be preserved, whether I like them
LOL!phillymatt53, LOL. Thanks! I have lernt this here lesson, pardner. I live in the rural planet of Idaho and ate too much white library paste in the 1st grade. The results are obvious.
My friend and classmate in elementary school, Mary Jo W., would eat her paste. In second grade we usually did art things in the afternoon, however one day were doing such right before lunch. She, Mrs. Morton (teacher), and the entire class regretted her appetizer of paste before her lunch of chili and grilled cheese.LOL!
Great reply Eugene!
I never could understand why kids in grade school talked about eating Lepage's Paste.
I knew what it was for, and thought it was silly to eat.
I always was one that didn't want or like to follow the crowd.
By the way, you're in Idaho, how come my local supermarket (ShopRite) has been getting those huge monster russet potatos lately?
Them things are a meal all by themselves! - some 6 to 7 inches long!
