I don't know for how many years Maytag made this model, but I believe Ipurchased mine in Fall 1981 (31.5 yrs at this writing),and it is performing like new to this day. I replaced the power cable only because of newer building codes requiring 4-prong 240V outlets, and this model originally had the 3-prong plug. That was a $20 DIY fix, but please do your homework before attempting it yourself.
For the Maytag DE303 Dryer, the electrical plate indicates the following:
Model = DE303
Series = 05
Serial = 144830VJ
The Maytag manufacturing date code is shown by the last two letters of the Serial Number. In this case, V and J. According to the website in the related link, the old DE303 was manufactured on May 1998 (V =1988, J = May).

I bought the same dryer in March of 1999. It was one of the earlier years of the Neptune models.
We bought ours, and the matching dryer, in 1983! We are JUST NOW upgrading in Nov 2011. Both the washer and dryer STILL work!!

The MAH4000AWW was made around 1999 -2000 and as i found out is a piece of JUNK ! Do yourself a favor and stay away from it ! Maytag's repairman had a heart attack and died trying to fix all these class action law suit rejects :oP .
