I saw that exact dryer at a yard sale once. Where is the lint filter on that sucker?

The lint filter on early Maytag dryers

lives in the back of the drum, behind that round plastic thing with the finger holes.

I always thought it looked a little bit like a round waffle.

It was a bother to bend and stretch to get at the filter, and sometimes I let it go two loads (I know, I know! Fire hazard!) before cleaning it.

It wasn't difficult to detach, just an annoyance.

Maytag went to a lint filter slide in the door opening around 1980.

If I had space, I would give this magnificent pair the home and love they deserve!!!

Seriously Tempted.....

Just like the pinky we brought home the other day, except pinky (I guess I'll start calling it that) needs a dial and a new backsplash light switch, and who knows what else. More an artpiece / former home for mice.

But this set is only a few hours away. Stay back people! ; )

Wausau is not far away. This would be a perfect match for my A and DE 806s. I am watching this one!

Good luck Fred, I hope that you get them. They would go perfectly with your 806s set.

Good luck to all who want to give them a good Applianceville home.

A700s is a suds saver - you can see the two added switches to the left of the timer dial with speed buttons. These are exactly like the turquoise machines (non-suds) I just got from Maryland. Has anyone asked the seller exactly what the non-working dryer's symptoms are?

Dryer filter...

gansky1's profile picture
I had this same dryer a number of years ago and although the filter was located in a difficult to reach place, I could get a several loads of wash through the dryer before it needed to be cleaned. I think the user's manual said that the filter should be cleaned after your washday was done unless drying heavy lint producing items(shag rugs, etc.) I'll have to dig out those books again. This model's filter screen was just that; a rather coarse metal screen/mesh that seemed to allow a lot of the lint to pass through it and out the vent. For a long time, I just took the filter screen out and let all the lint run outside. Curiously, even after a couple of years running that way, there was little to no lint in the vent tubing. Maytag had this same design for filtering until the change to the "Big Load" design in 1975 when the filter was moved up front.

I have a very similar set Model 142S (suds saver) with lighted glass panel and light in the tub that Im going to be selling. If anyone is interested before I put them on ebay let me know. The dryer that I have is gas btw.......

The filter on this design may have been inconvenient but the rest of the machine makes up for it. If everything is in good working order the machine is near silent. Although as a service tech it was never fun to restring the "halo" element.

Oh, Jimmy-- If I only had ROOM!

but this is not an endlessly expandable apartment!

(No, I am NOT going to trade or sell my 97s!)

If I had room, that Maytag pair would have a new home just a few miles north!

Maytagbear, you can come down and play with my set here anytime. I just got a 1956 Maytag AMP set w/gas dryer to replace the 1960 142S set. Oh, if only we could keep everything that we find! Alas, its impossible.

This looks to be a fabricmatic, or not? Looks in good shape cosmetically, even the tub from what I can see.

Maytag capacities

Does anyone know when Maytag came out with the large tub models?
