Next to the GE... Harvest Gold and Avacado sitting next to each other just look so festive!

It's a DE606 Any idea of the age? Can anyone decode the Serial number for me? In case you can't read it, it's 705775 K7

Even the lint filter is intact and free of holes! Someone REALLY took care of this machine.....there's not a scratch on it........ANYWHERE. I swear it looks like it just rolled off the assembly line!

How does this go together? On the lint filter does the spring go behind or in front of the filter disk? With it behind, it seems like the filter would flap around, but with in in front it's a PITA to clean the filter...

What a beauty! She came off the assembly line on May of 1970. The porcelain and firing technique used on the drums of these upper and TOL models are bullet proof. You can run them HARD for YEARS and they still look new. Kind of like the exterior cabinets of GM Frigidaire's. Lube up all of the wearing points with turbine oil and it'll be almost dead silent for many decades to come! | ||

As someone who has HOH experience, it is "waffle," spring, screen. I was so delighted to get my first "Big Load" dryer with the filter in the door opening, and delighted with my current Dependable Care. Maytag dryers were magnificent, once upon a time. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Oops!! I overlooked the piece I blabbed about; it was clearly present in the pic below the "label". The spring goes where I stated, I believe it facilitates snug fitting of the "waffle" retainer piece. | ||

The spring, BTW, does not go between the parts but rather holds/locks the mesh filter on the shaft of the holder. | ||
