Whirlpool.

I'm not qualified to recommend someone purchase a particular brand of dryer, but, I LOVE my GE dryer (7.4 cu ft) with steam and wifi. Can't speak to it's longevity because I've only had it since Oct 2019. I didn't buy it for the wifi feature but it's turned out to be quite handy :) I have the matching washer too.

bettefreddy --- can you clarify if you are looking for a dryer to match an existing washer, if you want advice on dryers you might stack on a new or existing washer, if you might need special features and programs for your laundry, and/or if your laundry area has space constraints? Also, are you looking for a vented dryer or will you need one of the ventless electric models, instead?

That said, I'll add to Dadoes's post by repeating what I learned from him in another post a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away .... :>) Whirlpool top-filter vented electric dryers have been almost the same for decades, work well and reliably, and are easy for DIY maintenance and service. You can find an example at this link. Be aware that they are 29 inches wide rather than the standard laundry width of 27-inches, which might or might not be a concern in your laundry space.

jwvideo, Thanks for your response. We currently have a Maytag washer and dryer. We bought them at the same time and they are over 30 years old. The dryer is no longer getting very hot so we just want to replace the dryer. We don't have any space constraints. Our current machine is vented and we most likely would keep that setup. Interesting input on the GE dryers. We were considering an LG as it got high marks by Consumer Reports but we don't know much about it. So many reviews out there with different opinions!

You should seriously consider repairing your current dryer. Once its repaired, it will likely last another 30 years. The build quality of modern washers and dryers is nothing compared to your current set. There are tons of repair videos on youtube and many online parts dealers. Or if you're not the diy type, you'll probably be able to find a competent repair person locally.

Dryers are reasonably simple and cost-effective to repair if the parts are available and the machine isn't unreasonably trashed from abuse. I replaced the belt and drum support rollers and shafts last week on my neighbor's 19yr 7mo old Maytag (serial number Nov 2000).

One thing to check, if you have not already done so, is the state of the dryer's vent ducting. Have you cleaned out the lint recently or had that done? Maybe you do that regularly? If not, you will need to do that or have it done, anyway, if and when you buy a new dryer.

Beyond that, repairs for "no longer getting very hot" might or might not be cheap depending on what needs to be fixed and what model you have and whether you all have DIY skills.

What would concern me with a 30 year-old Maytag is that it was made more than a decade before Maytag was absorbed into Whirlpool so the older machines' parts might not be as easy to find as they once were. Do you know the model number of your dryer? If you do, Dadoes has had some pretty good sources for checking out parts price and availability.

If you need to hire somebody to do the work for you, their charges and the parts might or might not take your costs close to the cost of a good basic dryer like that $428 Whirlpool model I linked to in my previous post. FWIW, that model is very nearly the same as the one I bought 20 years ago and fixed up last year with new felt bearings, rollers, shafts, belt and idler pulley for about $75 in parts and an hour or so of my time.

Our washer and dryer could have been a DIY repair but I was ready for another set and we were probably looking at more and more repairs. With the help of YT and repair websites, we've fixed our trash compactor and fridge. TC needed a new on/off/hold panel and fridge needed a new computer board. The people on line that sell parts are more than willing to help. The person that we gave our washer to fixed it for very little :)

Thanks to all. The vent is cleaned yearly. I called Maytag and the hold time was 30 minutes so I will call back to see if they have parts. Might well be worth fixing. I have the model number so will check with ”Google” to see if I can find parts. It has served us well over the years. It is very basic and that is just fine for us.

There are many online sources for parts. A proper diagnosis of the problem is required to determine what part(s) may be needed. Some parts sources have break-down diagrams of the parts, others don't have diagrams and only list the various parts (some with photos of the items, some without). Parts that are NLA from Maytag sometimes can be found on eBay via long-time servicers and resellers who have a stock of items.

Whirlpool bought Maytag in 2006 if you aren't aware.
