I have a chance to buy a DE606 for $90.00. The porcelain top isn't in bad shape, but it would have to be buffed out to be usable. The drum turns and is clean on the inside, the filter parts are all there, the door is in good shape and the door switch seems to work well.
I guess it's a series 2. It has the aluminum dial and the gold strip on the control panel. I wonder if I should get it for when I find my DE806 series 0 or 1 to use for parts or would I be wasting my money? The cabinet is in fairly good condition and there doesn't appear to be much rust. Are most of the internal parts interchangeable? The schematic is missing off of the back of the control panel cover. Would the electronic dryness controls be compatible? Would the newer dryness control be more reliable? Would any other parts in it be worth having to work on and older 806? I have two new belts coming for the dryer. Being optimistic. Thanks, B. |

When I read and when I thought and when I answered, the perfect trio!
You folks are all correct----I went and looked at all my 'Tag dryers----anything in the DE?06 series will be over 90% interchangeable in the entire 06 series. It ain't the first time the 806's versus 608's got me befuddled, sorry. At least I usually know a dryer from a washer, that helps. Nice how I can delete my entire wrong paragraph up above, eh? Thanks for the corrections, I just mixed up the numbers and described two entirely different series from my basement. |

Yes Brain I would grab the DE606 and keep any electrical and mechanical parts to keep your other DE806 going in the future. If you [ or another AW collector ] doesn't buy this dryer it will just get junked, so you shouldn't feel bad about parting it out and junking the rest. Very few people will use a dryer this old for long, and without a good refurbishing it will not run long and just get junked. |
