Original factory pink? It looks as if someone painted them.

Not original color Maytag did not offer the big load dryer series in pink. This is a custom paint job. | ||

 I agree: This set is a re-paint...
The obvious hint: Look at the size of that dryer door--that means the lint filter is tucked inside...
Not so obvious: the control panel; I think there is a difference in the trim between this "newer generation" model and the 'back-in-the-day era' model that the seller wants you to believe that this is from...
And finally: Compare the hue of this pink with the original & you're comparing it to Pepto Bismo... (Well, maybe that IS the same pink there--but I digress...)

custom color Wouldn't original pink Maytags have been glass panel, back lit models as well ? Or is it just that the only pink ones I've ever seen were glass panels? | ||

They were definitely never pink.
Pink was available early 60s. This set is from the late 70s. I'm guessing the paint would easily peel off the porcelain top. I once found a harvest gold refrigerator that someone cheaply decided they wanted to change the color on. So they got out a can of flat latex paint, and a paint pad, and painted it off-white color. It was complete with no primer base, varying thicknesses of paint, and strokes in the finish.
