I have a '91 Maytag dryer, Model. No. DE7500, which has worked flawlessly for years. However, yesterday morning, it failed for the first time. Here is my question: at what point do you replace instead of repair. I am sure that nothing I could buy would equal that dryer, but don't want to sink a lot of money into it either. My local servicer, a family-type dealer, told me it was probably one of the thermostats...a relatively cheap repair. My gut feeling is to repair it, but just wanted some advice from some of the most expert people I know....you guys...

Wouldn't change a thing...thanks for the advice. Guess that is what I needed...an affirmation of my decision. I'm gonna have it repaired....don't have the skills myself to do it. I thought the 'tag element was in a different place than most. I remembered that the placement was one of the things that made Maytag different, with "gentle" heat. Thanks again.
