What Year Were These Made?

[majorhealey]

Hello,
Could anybody tell me what year these Maytags were made? The washer is a A612 series 04 with a turquoise agitator. The dryer is a DE303 series 07. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My guess is 1984 on the washer. I think the dryer is the same vintage as well.

Early 80's on the washer, mid 80's on the dryer.

I've seen many dryers with that control panel, but never a washer, was the gray uncommon on washers?

Maytag washer A612 was perhaps a 1985 model. This was around for a few years, so it could have been purchased between 1985 and 1988. The dryer could be anywhere from the mid to late 1980s to early 1990s.

Have a good one,
James

I agree with James - I saw a dryer like that at Best Buy maybe even as late as 1994 or 1995, and a washer to go with it. Very basic washer - gray standard capacity tub, two water levels, one speed, two cycles, three temps, if memory has it right. I think the agitator was even black.

Methinks that dryer was intended to be matched with the competitors' (non-Maytag) washers.

In my opinion washers were not available with that dryer's style of control panel.

This is just a thought

My mother bought her set in Aug of 1987 with the same control pannel, which was at the end of the 1986 model year. The Dryer is a generic BOL for that year. My mom bought hers from Brockman's Maytag where they were all on display. To show how gentle the washer is to clothes demonstraited with a small wather level and ballons that did not pop because of the gentle agitation strokes. I always thought that was kind of impressive. This is also the old H drive trans.

Steve is right. That dryer was Maytag's "go with any washer" dryer and it sold for many years. The washer I remember as being mid 80's.
