Hi All! So, I live in this old building in Hollywood. We have a sad excuse for a coin-op laundry room with an old Speed Queen Commercial and an Older Maytag Dryer. The dryer lint filter is in sad shape - not only is the screen almost 1/2 torn from the frame but the screen is also clogged with god knows what. An hour cycle still leaves clothes damp. I was wondering if any of you Maytag Enthusiasts had an extra lint screen on hand that you would send me for shipping costs? Here in LA its hard to find old appliances or a place that I can even get old parts - instead of buying one - I thought I'd ask here first since I know we have a parts surplus... Anyone care to help my undies dry faster? Thanks! Matthew

Workhorse Maytag...
That is a great dryer. I'd do a COMPLETE delint job inside and out. It also sounds like you may have a restricted vent system. The lint filter is p/n 33001003. List price is around $10-$15. Any parts supplier should have that as it's one of the most common filters for 08 thru 12 and hundred series dryers... RCD | ||

WOW - ok...
Yay- Coldspot to the rescue again! - Love you John! I'll email you! No the dryer isn't vented to the water heater vent - but i see how you can think that from the pic. I actually moved it to vent straight up. You can see there is a white plastic vent that vents outside but its clogged. It's not that bad - but to us who prefer a nice laundry space - this is a SIN!!! I just moved in here and I have a charming old apt. I'm going to be hooking up my filter-flo to my kitchen sink and adding a retractable clothesline to my patio so thats how i'll be doing the laundry. But I wanted to share my disgust with you all - as i knew you'd appreciate it! :-D I'm kinda glad the landlord isn't very critical of things because I can do what I want to this place - i'm pretty much redoing it tip to toe. Paint and new kitchen floor and the works - i'm so excited - I'll show the progress when i get things done... and when i finally get to hook up my washer! Matthew | ||

Is that sign attempting to convey *don't leave the machi
Never under-estimate the ability of folks to be slobs! Nice to see you posting Matthew! Is there adequate make-up air with some kind of opening to the out-of-doors? Between the dryer creating a negative pressure in there and all of those combustion appliances such an opening would be important to prevent carbon monoxide generation!Also an unrestricted air supply may help speed drying times! It is interesting to note the straps to hold the storage-type hot water heaters to the wall (earthquake issues). Also of interest are the flexible water and gas connectors. Interesting (and sensible) that such connectors are prohibited in NYC but required in LA. Regarding the city of LA allowing certain issues to pass as code... It is my understanding that NYC and LA (and probably Chicago) have some of the strictest electrical/fire/building codes in the country. With regard to electricity, national standards appear to be most lax overall, then state codes tighten that up a bit with city ordinaces even futher refining those requrements. Many large commerical dryers (the kind that take 1/2 an hour and have 62k to 150k BTU/h heat inputs with the gas burner at the top and the lint compartments at the bottom) [see linkie]have been seen by moi-meme with the following statments printed or otherise affixed to them: Approved for use in NYC Approved for use in the City of Los Angeles.
