One thing I did notice was the 4 Phillips screws that hold the heating Halo/shroud are missing and that could mean this dryer was rebuilt at one point. Usually the gaskets on these dryers show wear when used a lot, and this dryer may have seen use back when it was new. It may appear like it’s never been used but probably was used for a period of time when it was new but had seen use on and off for the first couple of decades for its life and was eventually taken out of service and I suspect the previous owner just used it to fluff up clothes from when they were done air drying.
Sean I'm looking for an assist with a Maytag DE606 Halo of Heat that isn't tripping the shut-off solenoid. I've done a bunch of the standard checks and been thru all the wiring.
@@Zencyclist I don’t really have any clues that can help other than my Maytag DG606 did the same thing and since it was quite troublesome figuring out the problem I ended up converting it to a DG306 and haven’t had any issues with it in the past 2 years.
He can't!! He very clearly said it's a gas dryer but it's not hooked up to the gas line ... and in order for a gas dryer to dry clothes it needs to be hooked up to a gas line.. and this dryer is NOT hooked up to a gas line... although i agree with you . I would have loved to see the burner light off and see it working.. it would be so awesome..
@@orangie8426 I basically have a similar dryer from 1973 that’s like this one in the video, but in the narrower cabinet. If you look up Maytag DG606 burner ignition sequence, you’ll see the video I uploaded in 2019 which was ironically around this time of year. Definitely fun having a gas dryer with instant burner ignition since the burner turns on as soon as the motor engines.
mxylpx since I have a Maytag GAS Halo Of Heat dryer from 1973 that’s the same internal design as this dryer, mine takes 75 minutes to dry a large load from the matching Maytag A606 washer. The slower drying time doesn’t really have anything to do with the age of the dryer, but Maytag throttled the heat output to only 18,000 btus in the gas versions since the burner is literally a inch away from a 3” wide felt seal that goes around the entire heating Halo and that felt seal is what helps direct the air through the burner and air mixer assembly, and if that seal becomes compromised the flame won’t be pulled through the burner cone and since they also used a very sensitive high limit thermostat (overheat sensor) it would kick off the burner until the thermostat cooled off. Another thing too is these dryers use a constant burning pilot to ignite turn on the burner.

Beautiful Maytag dryer! Absolutely beautiful. 💐
I do home inspections. There are still some of these out there that still run!!!
Love it. Time capsule homes are a gem. So happy for you for finding one.
yep, my mom has one from 1969. Still has original GE electric wall oven and separate counter top stove that both work like charms in COPPERTONE color.
By the way, did you put the table that's by your dryer upstairs in the kitchen? I thought I saw it in the kitchen in another video. 📹
The person that owned this dryer maybe received it as a 🎁. Another possibility is she was afraid of or using natural gas.
If you still have this dryer, you do a full regular cycle with a load of everyday clothes. What kind of washer do you have?

There's a good chance the former owner may have been a woman from the UK, they hang clothes as opposed to using dryers mostly.
Luv that sound! How long does it dry?!

Where is the element in these?
Its gas.
