Replace the dryer if you like best dryers for the money or whirlpool or Maytag with the filters on the top.
The Speed Queen is an excellent dryer a little bit pricey they are not having any problems with boards on their dryers. If I were buying a Speed Queen however, I’d probably save the money and get the one with the timer. It still has a three-year parts and labor warranty, the models with boards have a seven year parts and labor warranty. I wouldn’t worry about the remark the dealer made We serve the Baltimore Washington area and I’ve seen no dryer board failures here to speak of. I would skip the Maytag washer it’s really not any heavier duty than their regular cheap machines. If you want to upgrade from the GE you have now get a decent front loader. Speed Queen would be the best one. You can also get a Maytag or whirlpool or an LG if you have service in your area for LG. John. |

I don't think I'd spend even the 575 price on a dryer.
Whirlpool/Maytag still makes the classic top-mount lint filter dryers and some of them run as low as $500 or so last I looked. In my opinion, as long as you have a good auto-dry cycle, timed dry, and a separate temperature control, that's all you'd ever need in a dryer. |

Dryers tend to run forever. You could find a nice used Whirlpool or Kenmore with top mounted lint screen from either a dealer, which would likely include a warranty period, or from a private party. Or you can get a GE that matches your washer. I agree with John about keeping the washer. Maytags aren't what they used to be. As long as both of your machines are working, you have the luxury of time to conduct your search for a more presentable dryer. |
