I also have the Maytag dryer in photo #2, but the lint filter is on top like in the photo, not in the door. Did you maybe get the Hotpoint confused with the Maytag? I know the filter is in the door on the Hotpoint and most if not all GE dryers.
I’ve been using my Maytag dryer for 6 years without a single complaint. I also believe that the BOL Amana dryer is similar, but the capacity is 6.5 cf vs 7 cf for the Maytag. Eddie | ||

I’ve never found the need for medium heat on my Maytag and seldom use low, I let ‘er rip on high and get ‘er done. The only feature on the Maytag that the Amana doesn’t have is a drum light, which I like, but for the price difference if I needed to replace my Maytag dryer I’d seriously consider the basic Whirlpool built Amana.

For 16 years we ran Maytag ( Samsung ) front load machines. Washer went bad and we bought LG thinking we would get dryer at later date to match., No such luck now days so we decided to go and buy a Whirlpool WED4815EW1 basic dryer with lint screen in the top. It has 3 temps, auto dry and mechanical timer. Great dryer. I had forgot over the years how great. Dries and shuts off without damp spots and is very quiet. On sale now at Lowes.

17-year-old Noisy whirlpool dryer
Like other suggested your most practical option is probably to fix the existing dryer.
If you are gonna buy a new one and your house is served by natural gas definitely switch to a gas dryer so that you can start to save back the expense of switching it will eventually pay for the new dryer. Definitely skip Samsung LG, GE in Hotpoint and Frigidaire dryer’s they’re all more troublesome than whirlpool - Maytag . Your existing whirlpool dryer if it’s been used for less than 10 loads a week could easily last another 20 years. John L | ||

I’d take John’s advice and see what’s wrong with your dryer. Could be as something as simple as the rollers or idler pulley or something that’s worked it’s way loose causing noise. Plenty of videos on YouTube showing how to diagnose certain noises on Whirlpool 29” dryers and repairing Whirlpool 29” dryers in general.

Best dryers
Hi Jon. Lots of good information however whirlpool came out with a 27 inch dryers before Maytag and whirlpool 27 inch dryers are much better than the 27 inch dryers from Maytag Neptune etc.
Whirlpool did not borrow anything from the Maytags design and immediately discontinued it when they took over Maytag. Maytag‘s Are much more difficult to service they had a lot more plastic in them they had problems with their blowers coming loose , The electric models had wiring problems, they had front drum bearing problems, they had a lot of trouble with the baffles coming out of the drums, they were smaller in capacity than Whirlpool’s 27 inch dryers etc., about the only thing it was better about the Maytag dryers is they pretty much all had porcelain finished tops.

Jon, I personally agree with your comments about high heat. Since 2006 when I got my first front loader and they spin faster than my Kenmore top loader, medium became my new "hi" and delicate became my new medium and low temps on my Maytag Dependable Care 1994 dryer. My new LG dryer seems to have lower temperatures than the Maytag.
