Definitely one of the early Maytag Halo Of Heat models. May not be from 1957, but the early HOH dryers did look like this though

Someone here was selling a matching washer.

Terrific waste of cabinet space to put that little drum in the old cabinet that had a large drum back when Maytag dryers used to get color checked when tested by Consumers' Union.

Difficult to narrow the exact model down without a timer dial shot but it looks like a 67C.

Pretty sure that door seal is from a later generation HOH and was modified to fit.

Maytag dryer

I bought a dryer identical to this 6 years ago for $50 (see thread 45267). The original thread said it was a 1960 model but I seem to recall someone on this site determined that it was in fact a 1958 model.

It is in fact a model 67C. If you look at the original thread, there is a photo of the original door seal which I replaced with a NOS seal. They both look like the seal in the picture on this thread, at least to my eye (I'm no expert). I also have a DE806 and the seal looks entirely different - it is almost flush with the cabinet.

I've been using this dryer since I purchased it. I love the simplicity of it and I've been completely satisfied with its performance.

The difference in the doors between the two models, with the 806 having a door with an inner and an outer panel is why it would take a differently constructed seal than this dryer with a single panel door with a plug for the drum opening. Maytag really let you know when you were buying a lower end model.
