Liam - for a perfect match - you would be looking for a DE808. Starting with the Big Load dryer series - the 06 nomenclature for the HOH dryers was to be replaced by the 07/08 model series for the Big Load. A DE608 would be the non-lighted panel, and the DE808 would be lighted. Good dryer. 608 dryers are a bit easier to find than the 808 dryers, but the 808 dryer is no where near considered an endangered species - yet! Ben | ||

I agree with the hellish halo comments re: electrics. My electric had its heating coil break and the two ends contacted the cabinet and turned it into a giant heating plate. Good thing I was home at the time or a fire would have ensued for sure. No such problem with the gas dryer that replaced it. Best dryer I ever owned. It was much faster than the electric and purred along until one day the drum started in with a horrible screeching noise that couldn't be fixed. Never had a problem lighting the pilot on mine when necessary. Liam, my gas dryer had the lighted panel and "electronic control" which was the easiest thing in the world to use. Just rotate the dial according to the fabric you were drying and push to start. No settings, no timer, it knew all of that already. I suggest trying to find a similar model in electric. I think towards the late 70's they had likely made improvements to the electric models and there's no question that the new washer needs its companion dryer now. | ||
