Newer style, with the large door. But the backpanel looks blue, like the old HOH.

The most basic dryers were made with blue consoles in the late 70's. All the washers had the gold consoles at time this was used as an come on to get people into the store with a low price maytag hoped most people would buy a more expensive model when you found out you could not get a washer to match.

Just as good if not slightly better. On a back to back test, the HOH produces a stronger airflow. Even though the wattage is a little lower on the HOH's, the 360 degree heating element drys a little faster and much more evenly than the 08's, especially with bulky items like comforters. The 08 series is easier to fully tear down, repair, and assemble....unless there's a motor issue. Both are great designs and you can't go wrong with either, IMO. |

I never paid attention, but I thought that the control panel color matched the color of the cabinet, with a few exceptions, harvest gold w/gold trim, white w/blue trim, avocado w/green trim....there was a method to the madness...lol and how did they come up with the odel numbers...this thread is showing A106 and A108...was there a 105, 107, 109? |

The later model MDE style Dependable Care dryers had an easier to reach thru opening and also a boost in CFM numbers IIRC. They shared the newer style elements that the LDE series used and used the same rollers and glides that Maytag dryers used since way back when (07's?) but took a different belt, blower and motor than the rest. I haven't seen as many issues with that later style blower wheel as I have with the older one but they sure do go thru glides and rollers like the rest... RCD |
