So I picked up a dryer today...

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Ignorance and stubbornness are such wasters of time and life and joy. The Electronic Control Maytag is one of the best dryers to operate on 120 volt service, not because of the speed, which it does not have because of the low wattage heating element, even on 240, but because of the sureness of the electronic control. When I moved to my Greenbelt house, I did not have a 240 volt line for the DE806 so John walked me through putting a Maytag washer cord on her and I used her that way for a few months. Since I moved in the fall, I backed her up to a hot radiator to provide extra heat and dried clothes perfectly, even peppermint press shirts and pants until John put in a dryer circuit. Even when not running, the whole cabinet stayed nice and warm.
 
That poor woman, a brand new DE806 in the garage and she has to line dry her whole life. They should have hooked the husband up to a 220v line.

(BTW, wouldn't that chrome strip indicate no later than a 1971 vintage, thus making it 43 years old?)
 
 

 

WOW Andy, just WOW!   A truly incredible find!   

 

I agree with Gordon.   You have been selflessly doing so much for others for so long, that the good karma is coming back around to YOU now.

 

So cool!

 

CONGRATS!

New DE806 Maytag Dryer

Great save Andy, If I were you I would install this new dryer under the cabinet and top of that beautiful DE906 that Brain brought you last month.

It is always such fun to find a new vintage appliance, I am bringing an almost NEW Maytag laundry appliance back with me from our trip.

Drew,

I saw the video on your youtube channel last night before I noticed this post and wondered what you were up to. That's pretty cool. A new Maytag in the box. I guess the Maytag Gods must be looking down on you. :)

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm still pinching myself. I will use it but sparingly as to keep it looking beautiful.

Before I put it into service, I will most likely change the belts as they seem to both have permanent flat spots from sitting. That or hear more belt noise. I had just wanted to post pictures so that other younger people like myself who have never had a chance to see what a brand new Halo looks like will now be able to.

Again, thank you all and thanks for your support and friendship.

Here's to love, laughter and laundry!
