I thought about getting this one. It has been posted for a while. About a 5 hour drive one way.
"I thought about getting this one. It has been posted for a while. About a 5 hour drive one way."
I drove four hundred and sixty miles from Burbank CA to Chico CA to get my yellow Maytag set. That's just shy of seven hours each way. This machine appears to be in excellent physical condition and it's in a very rare color. If you have an interest in it I'd suggest you act on it. You'll regret it later if you don't.

The ad says "not working".
TDE701 Maytag Dryer
Cool Dryer when I first saw one of these I wanted one, BUT Good luck ever getting the electronic control system working, even back in the mid 70s when I worked for Maytag I never saw one of these that worked properly.
I have been told that there are actually one or two of these in our groups hands that actually does shut off properly, but the ones we saw in the mid 70s never would shut off as designed.

The electronic dry control works well when it is working but can be an absolute royal pain when it isn’t working. The electronic dry control on my Maytag DG606 was giving me trouble and I ended up just converting it to a 306 timer dryer to make it simpler and haven’t had any issues with it since. I believe some Maytag 606 washers were paired up with 306 and 407 auto dry dryers
Sean, the electronic moisture controls on these models are a much more complex design than the 500/502/750/ or any of the '06 HOH's. These systems use both a physical timer and electronic control unit that work in unison.

I think some Maytag dryers in the early 80’s used a electronic dry control in conjunction with a timer. Maytag definitely made it much simpler by then. One recent thing I have done to my Maytag DG306 was I replaced the cycling thermostat with a 120F low heat thermostat and ever since I installed a low heat 120F it seems to be much quicker now and doesn’t take no more than 60 minutes to dry a load of laundry and the high limit thermostat doesn’t seem to go off at all since it has a new 120F thermostat in it.

Most Maytag dryers in the 90’s simply had a auto dry timer or timed drying timer since it was easier to fix and repair. Most dryers in the 80’s and 90’s that were MOL had a auto dry timer and the mid 80’s Kenmore electric dryer at my old house did have a automatic dry cycle on it but it was never used since it never dried clothes all the way from what my mom told me the only cycle that was used on that dryer was timed drying. Only dryer with a auto dry timer I have experience with was a early 80’s Maytag electric dryer I sold back in 2018 for a HOH and that dryer was fairly quick and seemed to do a good job at drying clothes

Well I gave in to a little bit of peer pressure and this dryer now resides in southeast Texas.
