Who knew?, This was the only way Maytag made their stack washer dryer when it was introduced. In 1987. They were all electronic. They didn’t even introduce the cheaper, electro mechanical one until around 1990
There is still tons of these out there we still service them on a monthly basis for customers, they were a little more troublesome than the mechanical ones, but they were quite versatile for what they were allowing up to a 20 minute wash cycle on the normal cycle for example extra rinse on any cycle and of course electronic dry control on the dryer. When the electromechanical one came out, they mimic these features. The dryer did have electronic sensor combined with a timer and a 20 minute wash cycle was available which is what Maytag should’ve had all along on their standalone washer to improve their cleaning of their mediocre agitation .

I never seen one of those Maytag stacked sets before in person, but I imagine the dryer is just slightly smaller than the full sized SOH models but otherwise is about on par. That only way I could see the dryer “not matching the capacity of the washer” is with smaller loads (true with any dryer really) or very large loads of laundry (trying to dry 2 loads of laundry crammed in).

Worked on one this afternoon in the Watergate condos in Northwest Washington next to the Kennedy center.
33 years old, this is the fifth repair that we have done to it, these machines are good money makers, because people tend to repair them because they’re expensive to replace, you really have to go to a 24 inch stack because it’s usually the only machine that will fit in the space that these occupied as most front loaders have gotten too big even the 27 inch full-size stacks are too big because they’re much deeper. This one flooded the hallway because the hose from the water pump to the outer tub just came loose at the outer tub fell off completely. She said she would replace it if she could get an identical replacement. Instead, we fixed it again. Previous repairs were two inlet valves, a blower on the dryer and an idler pulley on the dryer and the rubber thingy in the inlet air. Gap was replaced as well. |
