I decided to continue this post from "Old Maytag in Palo Alto." I'm consistently amazed just how quiet this dryer runs. Here's a "before" pic right after I dragged it into the laundry room. Please excuse the mess, a bunch of stuff was flying across the room in all directions to make a pathway for the dryer.

I completely disassembled the motor, blew out a ton of lint, and cleaned and lubricate the bearings. I regret not taking and pics of the motor completely torn down. I couldn't believe the quality and simplicity of this motor, not to mention that it's brushless design. No wonder why these machines last forever without any maintenance!!

Nice work on your new dryer! A good cleaning makes it feel much more like your own and worthy of your clothes. The buttons may be a challenge to find but calling around to Maytag service & dealer shops may yield what you need and hopefully some unexpected surprises too! The matching washer you're looking for would be an A900 or A902. The cabinet style of the earlier model 160 is a bit different than your dryer. This dryer didn't come out until late in this series of machines and there wasn't a pushbutton dryer that actually matched the 160 washer - it was paired with a dryer that had a center-dial. | ||
