Char, that machine looks like NEW! I bought a used gas model back in 1990 with lighted panel but same electronic control. It replaced an electric model that I couldn't use where I was moving because the place didn't have a 220 hookup for it. That gas model was the best dryer I have ever owned, quiet, efficient, and the easiest thing in the world to use, turn the dial, give it a push and then forget about it. If the drum hadn't frozen up I'd still have it along with it's companion harvest gold mid-line washer. I LOVED that dryer and I'm sure you are going to love yours. Just one word of caution. When I still had my electric dryer the heating coil broke while drying a load of laundry and it ended up nearly causing a fire as the coil hit the cabinet and started turning the entire cabinet into a giant heating element. If you have any doubts about the coil while you own this machine, I suggest getting a new coil to be on the safe side. I remember back in the 70's Consumer Reports consistently top-rated Maytag washers but they weren't as nice about their dryers. After owning that sweet little gas model I don't understand how CR didn't rate them just as highly as the washers. You're also correct about not rubbing too hard on the painted surfaces. You need to be equally careful not to rub off the Maytag logo directly above the aqua colored lower panel. |
