You can see some lint did fall into the heater coils and was baked.

This might be the reason why the lint got in the coils. Hope I can find a replacement.

Hey guys -
One quick heads up on the gasket (312238) you previously mentioned. In 1966, the HOH dryers received a re-designed door gasket, which is not compatible on the 1965 and earlier 641/700 HOH series dryers. The earlier gasket kit (302448) was discontinued even before Whirlpool bought out Maytag. You might want to check an older Maytag dealer in your area. They may have a few still collecting dust in their parts rack. That's how I found a few for myself. Thankfully you can still find the front and rear felt seals fairly easily. Good luck! (Quick note for the archives - the lower end pre-66 HOH dryers (models with the single piece door) use a completely different gasket than the two piece HOH models, AND the water dryers uses two different gaskets all together depending on model! Crazy stuff. Maytag had enough sense by 1966 to use the same gasket on all dryer models, up until the Stream-of-Heat Big Load dryers.) CLICK HERE TO GO TO swestoyz's LINK |

The 2nd link appears to be 302448 (or a compatible version). I had ordered a 312238 and it fit, but honestly it did not work as well, so I popped the old door gasket back on. What amazes me is that parts still appear to be plentiful for the A700, but the DE700/701 seem to have most parts listed as NLA. Go figure, right?

You have the correct belts, when properly installed the shorter of the two belts goes from the idler pulley to the drum pulley, the longer belt from the motor, blower and around the large part of the idler pulley, this larger belt should be very loose, the shorter drum drive belt very tight. If your dryer still has the aluminum motor pulley try to find a replacement motor pulley, MT changed from the fast wearing aluminum motor pulleys on the later HOH dryers to steel pulleys to reduce slippage and performance problems. |

Maytag recommends painting the lower inside of the heater shroud with Hi-Temperature silver paint to reduce the chance of coins etc shorting out the heater. I do not know how good it does but it sure makes the shroud look great.
Look up the thread where I restored a DE750 a year or so ago where I did this. |

Thanks John. I did read about that in one of the threads. Is this one an upgrade?

Well now that the holidays are over, I once again continued with the dryer. Replaced the motor pulley and converted the dryer to 110-120 so I could see if it would run. It did, but one items that didn't work was the timer. It would not advance. Nor will the bell ring when I advanced it to off. So, need to find a replacement timer. Interesting that the time housing itself is missing the model number. I can't, so far, remove the screw in the front of the dial. It's stuck. Maybe it's there.
I did pull the timer itself. Maybe I can just replace that. This post was last edited 01/11/2014 at 21:05 |

If you increase the settings of the video to HD it looks better. The clothes I used were dry. Wanted to use them as props.

Hi Will, I cross referenced and found that this part would work on my 641C. I don't know if this one would fit your dryer. I do have a continuing search on E-bay for the correct part / # . Someday I might be lucky.
