How to Find Out the Age of My Maytag Dryer
When you're about to buy or sell a Maytag dryer, age becomes an important factor. The age of the dryer can significantly increase or decrease the price of the unit. Older appliances have a greater chance of needing future repairs or having trouble finding parts for repair services. Some repair companies only work on appliances within a certain age. If you don't know how old a dryer is, you can estimate the age by checking the manufacturer's documentation, such as the manual or the customer support information, on the unit. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Have your serial and model number ready when you call Maytag Customer Support. It can be several places on the machine. It might be on the upper left cabinet, inside the back frame or inside the dryer door.
If your Maytag dryer is more than 30 years old, it's possible it won't be in the company's database and you won't have access to the original sales materials. In that case, an antiques' appraiser is more likely to be able to tell you the age of dryer.
