After 5 years of searching and inquiring, I finally have a Maytag A806! It needs some cleaning and tweaking along with fixing some chips in the porcelain top, but otherwise is complete.
Huge thanks and shoutout to waterwitch for giving me this machine.

Thanks! I’ve been wanting an A806 for quite some time and waterwitch mentioned he didn’t need a machine anymore along with parting it out if no one wanted it, he sent me a picture and immediately knew it was an A806. Definitely am happy that I own a machine I’ve been wanting for at least the past 5 years.
Now all that’s left is to obtain a 808 control panel along with fluorescent ballast to convert my DE306 into a DE806 of sorts but customized with a auto dry timer along with low and regular temperature selections to allow for flexibility and options. Finding a 808 control panel is going to be somewhat difficult since I created a In Search Of thread along with a Wanted thread and haven’t gotten any responses or comments on those threads but I am sure there’s probably an 808 control panel lying around somewhere. | ||

I could, but it wouldn’t look quite right. LED lights are good for certain applications but in lighted control panels on vintage washers, fluorescent lights look best since they have a warm and unique glow to them and the only exception to that would be to use white LEDs in my Whirlpool’s since it would look like fluorescent lights compared to the incandescents they have and originally came with.

This is what the DE306 will look like when I am all done with it or close to it. This was a screenshot I took while I was surfing through the archives awhile back, an 808 dryer outfitted with a 306/308 timer but will put the low and regular temperature selectors in place of where the 4 selectors on the 808 dryer are.

This is what the DE306 cabinet and base look like at the moment along with the A806. Yes, it looks like a disorganized mess in my garage and is to a degree somewhat but have everything all laid out for the most part. Have painted the 306 cabinet and just put some of it together for the time being so I don’t loose or misplaced anything.

I can take apart and disassemble and entire Halo Of Heat dryer fester than I can a newer style of Maytag Stream Of Heat dryer or any other derivatives from other manufacturers since there’s more screws and you have to try to take the belt off of that idler pulley which can be a bit tricky since you can’t really see what you are doing. Yes, you have to move a Maytag Halo Of Heat dryer from the wall into an open area to remove the cabinet but once you do that, you have access to everything and don’t have to fiddle around with putting the belt onto the motor pulley and idler pulley on most dryers with a belt around the drum setup. Belts last a long time on a Maytag Halo Of Heat dryer since they are v-belts and won’t randomly snap on you like most dryers that use a serpentine belt around the drum.

I mean I have worked on my HOH dryers more than I have more stream of heat dryers so that could be that I am used to working on HOH dryers compared to the Stream Of Heat dryers. Can’t wait until I have the customized HOH dryer up and running and see how it works with 2 temperature selections rather than the one a majority of HOH dryers made after 1966 have.

Why alternate the originality if you don’t have to”. Right. And a new florescent bulb will likely last the remaining lifetime of the machine. | ||

Congrats on finding a dream machine!!!!
That’s a beautiful 806 you got there! What year is it? Looks like it’s still in great shape too. I really like the idea of building a DE-806 with the more reliable auto-dry timer and the dual temperature selector. I can’t wrap my head around why they didn’t offer a timer model with the backlit controls from the factory. I’d take it any day over the complexity of the electronic control module.
Good luck with both, Thatwasherguy. | ||

I think it’s either a 1977 or 1978 model, perhaps a 1976 model as well. Definitely newer than 1974 since that was the last year for the blue/sapphire trimmed center dials before they went to the gold in 1975, that lasted all the way until 1980. Reason why I am building and putting together a Maytag DE806 of sorts is I want to have a customized Maytag HOH dryer with the auto dry timer (putting a 306 timer I have on hand for the time being from my small parts stash) along with the dual thermostat setup since Maytag never made or offered a dual thermostat HOH after 1966 since their thinking was one temperature fits all and it did work to a degree but still want to have a low 120F and using a adjustable thermostat for the higher temperature since I can adjust the temperature from 135F all the way to 155F for fine-turning. May even convert it to 120 volts to see how it will do out of curiosity and yes it will dry slower since it’s running on half it’s rated voltage but since it’s a Maytag HOH, probably will dry a bit quicker compared another dryer running on half of it’s rated voltage since the heat is more even and uniform along with moving the air flow front to back.

The most difficult thing about the DE306 project is finding an 808 control panel, I looked all over out of curiosity to see if there’s one somewhere on eBay or perhaps an 808 dryer on my local Craigslist or Markerplace I could take the control panel off of and can’t seem to find one anywhere. If anyone has an 808 control panel, let me know since that’s what I’ll need to complete the 306 project/restoration I am working on. It will take some patience and persistence finding the 808 control panel I need but want to locate one as soon as I can even if it takes a month or two, to find one.

Here’s what the Maytag DE306 looks like at the moment. Finally got it back together mostly earlier, all I have to do is wire it back up and this is what I’ll use with my Maytag A806 until I am able to locate an 808 console and ballast for the fluorescent light.

This is what he back looks like, if anything looks different that’s because this is the drum/base out of the DG606 I acquired back in 2019. Will be perfect since it has 2 openings for the low and regular temperature settings once I find a Maytag 808 dryer console/control panel.

One step at a time
Taking one step at a time with the customized Maytag dryer I am putting together. Just installed a adjustable cycling thermostat that arrived in the mail about a hour ago or so. Now I am waiting for a 150F thermostat to arrive that’s used for the high limit safety thermostat on these dryers.

Huh, I was reading through the archives and someone mentioned that the high limit thermostat would kick off at 155F and would kick back on once it dropped 30F or so. John mentioned the high limit thermostat kicked the heating element off once it reached 170F but that must have been with the HOH dryers made before 1965 since the front of the drum was different compared to the 1966 to 1975 HOH dryers.
The high limit thermostat that was on this dryer when I got it was quite sensitive, when I removed the thermostat to see what it was rated to cut off at, from what I could see there was L140-10 which means it would kick the heating element off at 140F and would kick back on once it dropped 10 degrees and that definitely is not the correct thermostat. | ||

Reply #1 in this thread mentioned that a 150F thermostat would work and the original thermostat would kick the heating element off once it reached 155F. A 225F thermostat may work on something with a heater box but since the heating element is literally inches away from the drum, I’d be nervous since that seems to be a bit too hot for comfort since the heating element is that close to the front of the drum.

There’s 2 cycling thermostats one of them will be 120F for the low temperature selection and the adjustable will be set to either 155F or 165F. May even set it to 175F to see how it will do out of curiosity, definitely will speed up the drying process that’s for sure and perhaps may even debunk the 26 to 30 minutes drying time?

Could, but will just see how it will do with higher temperatures as a experiment but won’t use it long term like that. Even if I set the temperature to 155F or 165F, I won’t use the higher temperature setting unless I am drying towels or bedding or am in a hurry but will just about use the low temperature setting for regular clothes and such.

I wouldn’t mind a Maytag highlander pair but unfortunately it’s not in my budget at the moment to have machines shipped across country but am willing to pay to have certain parts etc shipped. I am looking for is a Maytag 808 dryer console (not the console and porcelain top, just the control panel/console and ballast itself) since I am putting together a customized Maytag dryer together and want to make it a match to my Maytag A806 I picked up a month ago.

Gas Maytag dryer Hello. I see you are really wanting a Maytag with a lid control panel. There is one at a local thrift store in my area. I’m not sure where you are located but I thought I would put it on here in case you’re interested.

I am located in the Southern California area. All I need is the 808 console and ballast and nothing else. If you do pick it up, I am more than willing to pay for the shipping for the console and ballast. Once I get those 2 items, I’d shouldn’t be too long before I have it up and running and finally will have a Maytag A806 set.

It may be $100 but if I am able to get those 2 things off it, I am more than willing to spend whatever amount it takes to have those items shipped. I don’t like the idea of parting out Maytags from that era but almost considered on parting out the Maytag DE306 cabinet since I took most of the wiring and parts off of it to bring back my Maytag DG306 back to life but as soon as I was offered a Maytag A806 for free, I decided to take everything apart and bring back the 306 cabinet back to life.

There’s currently a Maytag control panel on eBay that will fit that Maytag dryer. You could put that on when you take the 808 console and ballast off.
Not trying to pressure anyone, but it will be awhile before another Maytag 808 dryer pops up for sale and I don’t need to dryer, just the console and ballast itself.

I just need the control panel and ballast, nothing else. Once it get those 2 items, I’ll be on my way to a Maytag A806 set. Reason why I am going about putting together a customized Maytag dryer is I want something that’s fairly top of the lone but with the reliability of the bottom of the line models. Plus no Maytag Halo Of Heat made after 1966 ever came with any sort of temperature options, they only came with a 130F or 140F cycling thermostat.
I’ll send the money over to pay for the dryer and the shipping for those 2 items. Hopefully the dryer isn’t sold by then. | ||

I’ll just pass on the Maytag 808 dryer in Iowa. It’s too far plus will cost a lot to have it shipped from Iowa to California. I’ll keep searching for a Maytag 808 dryer but just want to locate one as soon as I can. Maybe even try to locate a junker 806 dryer so I can take the chrome strip off of it since my gold trimmed Maytag 806 has the chrome strip on top of the front access panel.

To continue this thread on, here’s my Maytag HOH parts haul from the appliance junkyard in Glendale Arizona. Got 4 blower wheels (one of them is metal with the 16 vanes on it), got 3 door gaskets (surprisingly were in good shape despite being outside for many years), got a few door switches (one of them is for a Maytag DE806 with a drum light), lint screens (2 of them are the older metal type that came off of the highlander dryers there), a few Maytag DE306 and DE406 dryer timers, 2 motors (need to be cleaned up and oiled), a complete wiring harness for a Maytag DE306/DE406, drum light socket, drum, last but not least a Maytag DE806 console along with a chrome strip.

HOH dryer parts
Hi Sean, those old pot metal blower wheels were fun, but the groove in them where the belt runs would tend to wear out in them. You may have to straighten the groove up if you want to use them to keep it from slipping.
You should also save some idler pulleys and bearing and drum shaft, and I would also save some of the main drum bearing assemblies for those if you want to keep them going forever, those both fail occasionally. They were fun dryers, but frustrating to work on and kind of just average performers. It was probably the worst product Maytag ever made them selves ,that in the ill-fated reverse rack dishwashers Maytag had to abandon both these products in order to have significant sales because consumers just didn’t like either one of them. John. | ||

Hi John, I plan on going back sometime later this month to retrieve even more HOH parts. Next time I go, I am going to snatch up a few blower housings from the Maytag Highlander dryers since they use the roller type bearings, and many other HOH parts while I am there. Hopefully I can get more parts and hopefully machines but unfortunately most of the stuff that’s there towards the back (mostly stoves and some washers) is going to be gone next year, there’s a ultra rare 1957 Whirlpool Imperial 2 speed washer I’d like to get along with a Wizard dryer as well. Don’t know if I’ll have room for those machines but if not, I’ll just pass them on to someone else in the club who wants a machine to restore and add to their collection.
That Maytag 806 dryer console isn’t quite what I was looking for but snatched it up just because. It’s missing the fluorescent ballast, going to have to search for one and I am sure they can easily be found on Amazon or a local hardware store. Going to have to drill out a hole in the blower housing for the drum light as well. | ||

Now here’s a question I have, where do I find a fluorescent ballast and sockets for a Maytag 806/808 console? Looked on Amazon and other various websites to see what there was, and there were some ballasts and sockets available but didn’t look like the originals from photos in the archives of Maytag 806/906 consoles taken apart.

Did the metal blower wheels spin slower? Or did they just move more air from the higher fin count? Good score on the control panel! I presume since you didn't come home with the fluorescent sockets or the tub light socket that the machine had been pretty well stripped for parts? If an 806/606 dryer is there, grab the carbon brush and brush holder too next time you are there - those are impossible to find. | ||

Maytag DE806 that was there was all there except the fluorescent bulb and ballast was missing. Someone either removed it because it stopped working or was cobbled together from other HOH dryers since there were a few HOH dryers that didn’t look quite original, there was a Maytag DG306 there but was converted to electric at some point since the burner and shroud were replaced with a electric heating halo.
I will be getting more parts from there, most of the stuff towards the back is going to be gone next year (mostly stoves) and hopefully some of the Maytags are still there when I go back later this month. Maybe I’ll be able to talk to the owner next time I go there and see if I can arrange something, I mentioned they could strip all those machines down for parts and list them on eBay and one of the workers there was like “huh, sounds like something we should have been doing all along”. There’s a few machines I wish I could get from there such as the ultra rare 1957 RCA Whirlpool Imperial 2 speed washer, Wizard dryer, and a Norge positive air flow dryer but they would be sold to other collectors since I am limited on space at the moment. Going to probably end up selling my Maytag A810 set next spring since my A806 set will be a duplicate and really don’t need 2 of everything. I believe those older Maytag blower wheels move more air but will have to see when I experiment with it one day to see if there’s any difference in drying speed with the extra vanes/blades it has. I am still looking for a Maytag 808 console but this 806 console will work in the meantime, just won’t have temperature selections and just will have one temperature which is low heat. | ||

Here’s my Maytag A806 set after searching and inquiring for one, don’t have that much to do other that do some cleaning up and tweaking to the washer. As for the dryer, don’t have much to do to it other than locate a fluorescent ballast/socket and bulb for it along with wiring the drum light in. Once I get those things done, they’ll be ready for service 😀

Thanks! Just need to find the fluorescent sockets and bulb for the dryer along with hooking them up. Got the parts from that appliance junkyard in Glendale. Want to try to get a few machines from there as well since most of the stuff towards the back (mainly stoves) will be gone be next year sometime.

I think it’s by choice but I am not sure. Probably want the stuff gone towards the back since they aren’t making any money on it, I did suggest they should just get rid of all the newer stuff while I was there along with stripping down some of the machines for parts since they have at least $3000 or more worth of good parts out back such as transmissions etc. There’s a ‘57 Whirlpool Imperial washer I’d like to get along with a few 50’s Kenmore dryers, a early to mid 60’s Wizard dryer (rare as hen’s teeth) and a Norge positive air flow gas dryer from the mid 60’s or so. Even if I don’t keep those machines, I’d rather them go to other collectors in the forum who are going to appreciate them and yes they do need work but there’s machines that came from the Aberdeen Farm many years ago that were brought back to their former glory.
