She was originally just going to sell the washer because the timer motor crapped out. But we told her to call us when she wanted to sell the dryer. She's moving this week, and it was easier to sell it to us and have us move it down from the third floor. :) As soon as I get enough money to replace the timer motor, lint filter this set will supersede the A206/DE306 as the daily driver set. I still like the black Powerfin, but the lighted control panel always wins. Bright Lights and Chrome...it's the little things.

Operator error!
Hello From across the pond, well we have the same numptys here as well, last week i picked a Hoover dryer with exactly the same fluff pancake.....sometimes I think some members of the public should not be allowed near these machines, they have probably gone out and bought a brand new machine that will suffer the same fate Gary Ps yes lights and chrome :-)))

Dryer Fluff
Hi guys , wow that Maytag dryer lint looks like a block of carbon just a ready to explode!!!! Glad to here you will have a lighted set to use anyway!! Picked up an old 1960`s Servis dryer recently and its lint bag was also filled like a brick!!! probably why the top was scorched from overheating...Lol

Makes one wonder why the "CLEAN LINT FILTER AFTER EACH LOAD" warnings disappeared over the years. | ||

I forgot the other part...Dave suggested to her (before we saw the lint filter) that maybe the dryer vent didn't get cleaned regularly in her apartment complex, and she told us that it was never really connected to the dryer vent because the duct tape wouldn't hold the vent hose in place, and it kept falling off. :)

Indeed we do have 'numptys' over here too... picked up a Hoover 3022 'matchbox' dryer about a year ago. fine condition, but came with a present of fluff and lint!

When I picked up my 1962 Maytag A700 washer and DE701 dryer a few months back, it too had a number of loads of lint on the lint screen, thought not as much as the photos above. It also had a 40+ year layer of lint INSIDE the bottom of the machine when I opened it up! I didn't even think to take a photo of it though, I just cleaned it and tossed it in the trash.

Wow - that is incredible! I clean my lint filter almost every time I dry a load & keep the vent clean, and still, when I took the bottom panel off the dryer last month I had lots of lint inside the dryer. | ||

Question.
We have started cleaning the dryer and the inside is a royal mess. This is a thousand times worse than the DE306 I cleaned a few months ago. My problem is the pulley that spins the drum. The darn thing is stuck in place. I have removed the bolt that holds it in position and put some zoom spout oil in the bolt hole but the pulley is still stuck fast. The inside is nasty and I know the blower needs to be cleaned and lubed. How do I remove the pulley? Also, we got a new lint filter, Dave | ||
