Maytag stopped producing Halo Of Heat Dryers in 1975
the dryer your mombought in 1979 had was what was known as the Big Load Design that actually was manufactured until quite recently. The way to tell a Halo Of Heat from a big Load dryer is in the location of the lint filter. Halo Of Heat filter is in the back of the drum...Big Load Filter right in the door opening.

It's funny how people complain about the small drum of an HOH, yet it can efficiently dry a huge comforter that would never even begin to fit in Maytags largest 2006 dependable care washer. As much as I love my DE808, the HOH drys bigger items more accurately, thoroughly, evenly, and quicker than the 808. My guess to the accuracy of HOH's is the placement of full length sensor strips in all 3 baffles vs. a tiny little sensor strip up in front of the lint filter. | ||

Great story. My little 806 gas HOH dryer was the best one I ever owned. Quiet as a mouse compared to modern dryers, and no air movement whistling sounds out the exhaust like a modern dryer. If the drum hadn't frozen up on it I'd wager we'd still have that center dial pair right now--because we all know the washer is somewhere out there (it was down the line a bit from an 806 model), still working trouble free for someone. The Maytag center dial machines are right up there with the Western Electric model 500 telephone as one of the most impressive and enduring pieces of equipment manufactured in the 20th century IMHO. | ||
