I have a 1979 dryer and would like to get a new belt. Does anyone have a model number of the belt I could order? Thank you! | ||

If this is a halo of heat dryer it uses 2 belts...Y311013 & Y 311012. They are still available. | ||

Your Maytag DG806 from 1979 has the larger drum, and the Maytag Halo Of Heat gas dryers built before the stream of heat dryers had a standing pilot that had to be lit so the burner would come on, and the newer stream of heat dryers have a igniter and you will see it glow ping when you turn the dryer on.

>> What does this have to do with my question of a belt
Hi floyde, the problem is that you asked for a belt for a dryer that doesn’t exist! The Halo-of-Heat DE/DG806 was only produced until around 1976. The Stream-of-Heat dryers were then produced until around 1980. So something is wrong, either your year (1979), or your model (DG806). Perhaps instead of a DG806, you have a DG608? Or a DG808? | ||

DG806 Dryer Belts Yes thank you Dave, MT 806 dryers have two belts and MT808 dryers have one, they are COMPLETELY different dryers, this is why exact model #s are so important.
In either case the belts are still readily available,
Question why do you think it needs a belt, have you even taken it apart yet, at its age it is likley to need more than just a belt if you are trying to use this dryer much.

8 replies and not a single answer! If you know for sure that your dryer is a 1979, this will work: www.partselect.com/PS1175... | ||

That's because we care about giving the CORRECT answer. It avoids a lot of wasted time, money, and frustration to get the correct part the first time. And remember too that we are on a forum here. Resolving this confusion isn't just for floyde - others down the road will find this thread in their search results ("DG806 belt", etc). So resolving the ambiguity may prevent similar problems for others in the future. | ||
