My dryer has the filter in the door opening, and this one looks just like it. Mine was gas but was changed to electric by the maytag dealer who had them. | ||

gender bias
When I was a cute-little tyke, I was so into gender-roles (as I was taught) so that I could not understand male chefs, taylors etc. Mom said (AND DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER) "The best taylors and chefs are men." Even MORE confusng, How did they get to be better if society does not like them to practice these things? THEN it hit me.. If you do it to raise kids you are in the XX role and if you do it to make $ you are XY role. Since those are traditional gender roles, the world rests at peace. Telephone operators were first generally male, then became female. Supermarket checkouts were generally female now seem to be male. I still get a charge out of female construction workers and male nurses. But of course, HO, HUM its done more and more. When I fell into a cleaning business the ladies gobbled it up. My sister was bed-ridden after giving birth and was a lovely shade of green. Constant parade of well-wishers. Then one day someone realized her hubby was working constatantly and wife sick in bed "How-get-clean-the-house?" mother? NO Mother-in-law? GET REAL LIL OLE ME!. (I was between jobs) How fast did I get hired. I made a fortune. See, I cleaned behind the stove, W&D, and ref and did the big heavy jobs. [Achance to paly with them and run them!!!!} Ran a self-clean cycle in the oven and did laundry simultaneously. In my 3 to 4 hour stints I was a whirlwind..and charged a premium too. Psychlogically a woman hiring a woman was maybe hard for them. (I'm better than her and I can do this myelf")I was told (Again don't shoot the messenger) "Women don't clean like you" Apparently I was a temporary surrogate hsuband who did the big stuff. And I told them flat out YOU can easily vacuum the middle, that bores me. Let me do the hidden stuff. I shot myself in the foot by being flexible and letting them cancel and reschedule up-the-kazoo. Gave it all up eventually. | ||

too complicated
Maybe now, since cars are too complicated and computerized, the male instinct to tinker and conquer things mechanical had to be, and is now, re-channelled into major appliances. Funny too is that I had to train my mom that starting a washer or dishwasher cycle [mechanical timers then] at poitions other than "start" was OK. She had a big "Oh" when she found out that she could dial up a second rinse or a pre-wash. Or that on her center dial 'tag dryer from 1965 that the PP cycle (lol.. that's permanent press folks, HA HA) had a 10 minute coll down rather a than a 5 minute cool down on "normal". On that BOL model she had, the temp was the same. So I convinced her to use to to avoid some wrinkles. We won't even get into using a 10 to 15 minute "air-fluff" [no heat] to de-wrinke before unloading. If the clothes sat in the dryer overnight I recommended a wet piece of cloth and 5 minutes with heat and 10 without. Worked like a charm. She just shook her head in amazement. I always liked science and this is all just appled (to real life) science! LOL | ||
