I was going to post this in the truck load o'maytag thread but thought it might be more like hi-jacking, so anyway..... I have a Maytag electric dryer that is model# GDE808. As far as washing machines go, what model number would I be looking for to make a match with my dryer? I read all the posts about 806's and 608's and I don't know what I'm looking for. I love the center dial and I'm so happy I didn't give away this dryer that came with my house. I brought a dryer with me and the previous owners left the maytag here and instead of hooking ours up, it was easier to use the maytag. Well, needless to say, we ended up giving our newer dryer to a friend in need because I absolutely love that maytag! And since I became a member here, I have been wondering what dryer would have been produced at the same time as my dryer? Any help would be appreciated. By the way, my dryer is harvest gold color, I know this doesn't affect the model number ,but I would like to find that ever so elusive match! | ||

There Was an 808 dryer!
I had one. Still have the instruction manual. Bought a brand new matching set (A806 washer (gold panel)and DG808 dryer.) The dryer must have just come out in 1976 when I bought it. Loved those machines and sorry I ever got rid of them. Took them with me from Chicago to California. Still worked when I decided to go with KitchenAid. My sister-in-law has the lower end of the same machines and they are still going strong 30 years later after 2 kids. She should have been in one of those Maytag ads! Had the lint filter in the front and the bigger opening. I always felt gyped because the A806 was a later model which didn't come with the interior light even though the sales literature stated that it did. My current A806 (earlier model with the chrome knob and blue lower panel) does come with an interior light. Love those things!

no 808 washer?
So, there was no 808 washer for the 808 dryer? Not trying to stir up a hornet's nest or anything, just curious about the production of these machines, but where would appnut have gotten the GA808 for a washer model? Appnut, where are you, now I'm curious! I know there have been discussions on these over the past couple months and I was just as confused then!! LOL! I wondered if there was a dryer model with an interior light, as mine does not have one and I often wish for one. Nonetheless, I love my dryer and would like to find a reasonably priced washer to match. Kenny, thank you for your offer. I don't know if I'm ready to look at freight shipping right now, we're saving for our first ever family vacation (it's in 3 weeks) and we're driving from Pa to Florida (gas cost nightmare). No lighted console, eh? If you want to email me the particulars, feel free, I can at least talk it over with my husband and see if it grabs his attention. Again, thank you for offering and the input on the model numbers! Chris | ||

minty fresh maytags...
I would love to see some photos! I was drooling over the truck load that goatfarmer recently got, that avocado especially, but I would soooooooo easily settle for a white washer until I could get my harvest gold. I think I really am set on a lighted console, once I realized my dryer had one I haven't been the same. One thing I'll say, no one I know understands how excited I get about drying my clothes! I love that glow while the dryer hums along! | ||

halo of heat
So, the 808 marked the end of production for halo of heat models? I must find a place to read all this stuff so I stop making myself look like a tourist *takes off goofy shorts and hides camera* One thing I just noticed about my dryer..the knob on the door is black, it doesn't look original to the machine at all. Would a chrome knob be more accurate? Where would one look to replace the impostor? | ||
