Hamilton Dryer with Electronic sensor Control
WOW I have never actually seen one of these dryers except in service manuals, this was still one of the almost silent running Hamilton clothes dryers and would make a great dryer for someone. These Hamilton dryers are very easy to rebuild as they are very durable and seldom need many parts except a new set of belts [ they use two of the same size belt as a WP BD washer Pt# 95405 ]

Electric Hamilton Dryer
Congratulations Mark I hope the dryer is in as good a shape as it looks when you get it, funny thing is I would have gone after it if it was GAS so I an glad it worked out for you.
In this area we saw more Gas Hamilton's than electric because the Gas company sold them, but I have also seen plenty of electric models as well, the electrics often had the usual burned wiring and heating element problems other cheap dryers suffered from but mechanically the dryer was very good. | ||

Hamilton Dryers Were very good at drying clothing and were fairly durable, but they had cheap flimsy cabinets and I don't think they knew what porcelain enamel was LOL. Few if any ever had a Porcelain top let alone a porcelain drum like many GEs, MTs, Frigidaire s, Late 1950s LKMs and even Westinghouse used all porcelain drums after 1963.
I will take a gas dryer over an electric dryer for performance and safety any day as long as the gas dryer has electric ignition and redundant [ dual ] gas valves. But in reality ANY dryer built before the 1980s that doesn't have one time thermal cut offs should be used with much greater caution and electronic controls electronic controls have made today's dryers even safer as the machine will not run all night if something goes wrong. | ||
