A quick wipe down and that will look almost new. Is that a "Highlander" dryer? |

Oh, yes, it is a Highlander dryer. Note the single panel door with the plug for the drum opening and the galvanized, not porcelain drum. Maytag made it very obvious that the Highlanders were the cheaper models in the line. |

It might be a lower end model, but I love the cleanliness of the design. Contemporary washers/dryers make me gag: They look so cheap and plastic and ridiculously overly complex. |

The mechanical and electrical that most often wear out on HOH dryers are, heating element and complete heater shroud assembly, front drum seal and then you motor pulley, motor, belts, idler pulley and bearings and shaft, blower wheel and bearings, main drum bearings and shaft and even the complete base pan and support will fit any HOH dryer built through 1965.
About the only functional parts that this Highlander would not provide to fix a TOL pre 06 HOH dryer would be the rubber door seal and the electronic controls. |

You thanked everyone but me who took the pictures and posted the dryer in the first place. |

Mea culpa - you're absolutely right, I should have thanked you for your role in helping me to get this machine. |
