Floyde,
Mark is right. The *06 and *08 dryers are different. Completely different designs internally. The *06 dryers had a standing pilot light which caused corrosion. Some here either turn off the p/l when not in use or convert the dryer to electronic ignition. Another thing. The *06 gas dryers had a complicated front felt seal which is no longer available, I'm told. Brian | ||

The 06's were good dryers. It was more trouble to clean the lint filter and the standing pilot wasn't a good thing, but they lasted a long time and dried quite well. The were just barely large capacity enough to dry loads from the large capacity washer. | ||
