the pilot light will not stay lit it takes over an hour to stay lit But once the dryer is started 5 minutes later the pilot goes out but the dryer continues to run also the blower is making a racket I replaced it as the cost of parts and labor would add up to a new dryer if the parts could even be found to fix it | ||

If I ever have these problems, it’s going to get fixed. Not going to get rid of a fine piece of machinery over something as simple as a pilot light, belts, thermostat, or dry blower bearing. Have taught myself how to work on the Maytag HOH dryers, read through all these archives and still look through the archives from time to time to be sure. Maytag HOH dryers aren’t going to regenerate or repair themselves like Christine the 1958 Plymouth Fury will.

I got a Maytag dg608
it is identical to the de808 dryer that matches my Maytag a806 washer except for gas vs electric console and the color of them but I am going to have to relearn to use a dryer like this cause I have not used the 808 in about 15 years I have good dress shirts I need to dry and need advice on how to set the dryer | ||

"I am going to have to relearn to use a dryer like this cause I have not used the 808 in about 15 years. I have good dress shirts I need to dry and need advice on how to set the dryer"
On my DE808 dryer, I have the timer dial set to "Regular" and the button switches set to "Regular Temp" and "Normal Dryness" 99% of the time. I use the "Extra Dryness" button when drying throw rugs since they are very thick cotton ones. The dryness sensor placement on the SOH dryers are located in front bulkhead and it's not in the ideal location like the HOH's which are locating in the baffles, much larger in size, and always in the path of the clothing. | ||
