The A106 from January 1966 until October of 1967 was basically the same machine as the A302 Highlander. In November of 1967 is when the the A106 & A206 got the faster-geared transmission and the all turquoise Power-Fin agitator. The actual Permanent press cycle with cool down would wait until February of 1969 (except on the A906 which along with its predecessors had a true cool down since 1959, even though it was called "Wash-n-Wear" on these until 1969.)
The dryer did have both a regular and a Wash-n-Wear cycle. The only real difference between these was the cool-down period. The cool-down on regular was specced at 2-3 minutes and on Wash-n-Wear it was 5-8 minutes. This dryer design would remain basically unchanged from January 1966 until the end of production in the summer of 1976. All revisions were basically cosmetic. In 1969 Wash-n-Wear became Permanent Press, around 1972 the white plastic knob became acrylic and in 1975 the panel got the "Sun-glo gold" trim. | ||

The Basic Maytag--as long as it's a MAYTAG!--in my mom&#
The dryer seems to be touted in the ad as "automatic" yet this has a timer only & what would have been a better companion for the Maytag washer my mom had, similar to the A 106, 'cept for having an all-blue agitator & tub, as well as a Permanent Press albeit an all-white timer dial...
My mom's dryer w/ the "metal-look timer dial", complete w/ Reg. & Perm. Press settings as well as the Reg. & Low Temp push buttons, was a bit of a step-up... -- Dave | ||
