Looks like it's been sold. Was the dryer a 120v electric? A ~24" 'apartment' sized? Those are the only dryers I've seen that have a timer dial as the sole control. | ||

That is a 29" dryer, as it has the top-mounted lint filter. | ||

Don't know why this dryer is so shocking
It is just a larger version of Whirlpool (also sold as Kenmore and Inglis) portable or stationary compact dryers that have been around for ages.
My WP compact dryer (in lovely harvest gold) is pretty much same timed drying cycles. Only difference is as above the PP has longer cool down period than normal cycle. If advertised same Whirlpool et all touted "Three Cycle" and "Cool Down Care". In some people's minds they may think that meant three different heat settings, but not a bit of it. There was just "on" heat and "no" heat as in either air dry or thermostat was satisfied and turned off heat during portions of drying cycle. All and all BOL or not, a housewife in certain instances faced with either line drying or this dryer likely would have opted for what she could get, and be happy. Don't think drying sensors and auto shutoff trickled down to even various BOL models of dryers until recent push by government mandated in name of energy efficiency. www.automaticwasher.org/c... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/... | ||

Forgot I also remember that Sears had that four cycle timed only dryer mentioned above where the air fluff cycle (30 minutes?) was a continuation of the Permanent Press cycle. They advertised this dryer as having "Wrinkle Guard". | ||

My "other mother" had 3 dryers in 55 years. The sunburst 57 Frog Eye Kenmore. Then she got from her sister the 1960 Hotpoint all pushbutton with rapid advance timer dryer in the early 1970s. Her last dryer was a 4-cycle timed dry center dial Kenmore from the early 1980s. Her son kept this dryer, her A207, and KDS16 running until she had to move out of the house in 2012-2013.

David, the Maytag 306 3-cycle dryer achieved "all fabric" status by simply having all timed dry cycles set at low heat. That was the case for their original electronic control dryers. The latter only differentiated by the wash'n'wear/perm press button dried clothes to a more dry type of scenario. Not until later 06 dryers started offering models with regular and delicate temperature buttons was the user able to select appropriate temps themselves.

Dryer Temperatures All MT HOH dryers had only one operating thermostat and while it was not as hot as some brands that gave you several temperature options it certainly was not a low temperature either.
HOH dryers used 145F or 155F operating thermostats depending on their age which is much higher than the low on most dryers [ 125-135F ] that gave you a choice.

A 600 isn't BOL. "Hundreds" vs "tens" differences varies through the years but a 600 is typically like a 60 with a bit more styling or bit of feature step-up (such as the cycle signal). A 600 or 700 washer for example would possibly have A-B-C alphabet cycle designations and programmed temps on the timer (but not pushbutton) while a 60 or 70 would not be alphabet or temp-programmed. 100 or 200 would be BOL. | ||

HOH drying temps I purchased a 1958 Highlander 67C HOH dryer in 2013 - see post# 663122. In Reply #20, Coldspot66 answered me that on Regular the temp was about 135 and on Wash and Wear the temp was about 160. From my experience, the dryer was hotter and the drying times shorter if I used Wash and Wear. | ||

Interesting thing is I put a low heat 120F in my 1973 Maytag DG306 and seems to be a bit faster with certain loads, and that could be because it holds a more steady temperature since the front of the cabinet is quite warm to the touch but as the cycle continues it gradually gets cooler to the touch and overall has a better cool down as well.
