6. Provisions must be made for adequate clearances for servicing and for operation as noted in this manual  
(refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements in Section C).  
7. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside as noted in this manual  
(refer to Exhaust Requirements in Section E).  
8. Dryer must be located in an area where correct exhaust venting can be achieved as noted in this manual  
(refer to Exhaust Requirements in Section E).  
IMPORTANT: Dryer should be located where a minimum amount of exhaust duct will be necessary.  
9. The dryer must be installed with adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.  
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6  
months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.  
IMPORTANT: Dryer must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient  
temperature remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).  
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS  
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials. A minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm)  
above the dryer’s outer top is required, except along the front of the dryer. (18-inches [45.72 cm] or more is  
recommended for ease of installation, maintenance, and service.) The bulkhead facing, along the front of the  
dryer, will require a 1-inch (2.54 cm) clearance from the outer top. The bulkhead header may be a minimum of  
4-inches (10.16 cm) above the dryer’s outer top and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear.  
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.

NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.  
Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a 1/16” (1.59 mm) minimum allowance must be made  
for opening and closing of the control door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61 meters)  
away from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from the  
back guard). Refer to the illustration on page 7 for details.  
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS  
The air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer.  
As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square  
feet (0.14 square meters) is required for each dryer. If registers or louvers are installed over the openings, then  
the area must be increased. It is not necessary to have separate make-up air openings for each dryer. Common  
make-up air openings are acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is  
distributed equally to the dryers. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and  
make-up air supply.  
EXAMPLE: For a bank of eight (8) dryers, two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 3 feet by 2 feet (0.914  
meters by 0.61 meters) are acceptable.  
IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located in an area directly near where exhaust  
vents exit the building.  
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive  
altitudes or predominantly low-pressure areas.  
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of contaminating fumes such as dry  
cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent  
fumes will result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.  
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes willVOIDTHEWARRANTY.

E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS  
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will  
create excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the  
burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limits, or lint chamber hi-limit protector thermostat. The dryer must  
be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.  
When possible, it is suggested to provide a separate (single) exhaust duct for each dryer.  
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.  
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN  
CREATE APOTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.  
The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the  
outdoors with as few turns as possible. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended.  
It is suggested that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° or 45° angles instead.  
The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions,  
which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should overlap the duct to which it is connected.  
ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Additionally,  
inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and  
cleaning.  
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible  
materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around).  
The duct must be centered within this opening.  
To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be  
installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be  
protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least  
twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction (i.e., roof or ground level).  
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust  
ductwork.  
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the dryer exhaust duct area must be  
no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).  
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork  
system.  
IMPORTANT: For ductwork runs that exceed what is stated in this manual a professional heating,  
ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting  
information.  
NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, “Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be  
constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in  
strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26  
gauge (0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.”

NOTE: Ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at rear area of the  
dryer for removal of rear service panels or guards.  
SINGLE DRYER VENTING  
HORIZONTAL VENTING  
When a single 8-inch (20.32 cm) horizontal vent is used, the ductwork to the outlet cannot exceed 20 feet  
(6.1 meters), refer to Illus. A below. This calculation of 20 feet (6.1 meters) compensates or allows for the use  
of a maximum of only one (1) elbow (which is the outside outlet protection).  
Illus. A  
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the dryer exhaust duct area must  
be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).  
VERTICAL VENTING  
When vertical single 10-inch (25.4 cm) venting is used (refer to Illus. B below), the ductwork from the dryer to  
the outside outlet cannot exceed 40 feet (12.19 meters). This calculation compensates for the use of a maximum  
of three (3) elbows including the two (2) elbows creating the 180° (turned downward) outside outlet.

MULTIPLE DRYER (COMMON) VENTING  
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts for individual dryers may be channeled  
into a common main duct. Each dryer is provided with a back draft damper. The individual ducts should enter  
the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45° in the direction of the airflow.  
The main duct should be tapered with the diameter increasing before each individual 8-inch (20.32 cm) duct is  
added (refer to Illus. C for horizontal venting and Illus. D for vertical venting).  
IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers maximum should be connected to one (1) main  
common duct.

3. Piping Connections  
ALL components/materials must conform to National Fuel Gas Code SpecificationsANSI Z223.1-LATEST  
EDITION, or in Canada, CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid  
Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing), as well as local  
codes and ordinances and must be done by a qualified professional. It is important that gas pressure  
regulators meet applicable pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of  
ALL the appliance Btu being supplied.  
The dryer is provided with a 1/2” N.P.T. inlet pipe connection extending out the back area of the burner  
box. The minimum pipe size (supply line) to the dryer is 1/2” diameter. For ease in servicing, the gas supply  
line of each dryer must have its own shutoff valve.  
The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary depending on the distance this line travels from the  
gas meter or, in the case of L.P. gas, the supply tank, other gas-operated appliances on the same line, etc.  
Specific information regarding supply line size should be determined by the gas supplier.  
NOTE: Undersized gas supply piping can create a low or inconsistent pressure, which will result in  
erratic operation of the burner ignition system.  
Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.05  
mm) pipe gas loop be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator  
must be installed in the gas supply line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 12.0 inches (29.9  
mb) of water column (W.C.) pressure. (Refer to the illustrations above.)

NOTE: A water column test pressure of 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) for natural gas and 10.5 inches (26.1 mb)  
for liquid propane (L.P.) dryers is required at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for  
proper and safe operation.  
A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap, accessible for a test gauge connection, must be installed in the main gas supply  
line immediately upstream of each dryer.  
IMPORTANT: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of natural gas and L.P. gas must be used.  
IMPORTANT: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid  
detergent works well).  
WARNING: NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITHA FLAME!!!  
IMPORTANT: The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply  
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of  
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).  
NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual  
shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less  
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).  
H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP  
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:  
1. Read ALL CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.  
2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label.  
3. GAS MODELS – check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the  
dryer data label.  
4. GAS MODELS – the sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the factory prior to  
shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that this important safety  
control is functioning.  
5. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for tightness and security.  
6. GAS MODELS – be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.  
7. Check that ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced.  
8. Check the lint drawer to ensure that it is closed and secured in place.  
9. Rotate the basket (tumbler/drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely.  
10. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to ensure that they are ALL tight.  
11. Check vent is connected to the dryer and is exhausted to the outdoors.

I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS  
ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test  
should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or  
due to marginal location (installation) conditions.  
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.  
2. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.  
3. When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition  
attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for the air to  
be purged from the lines.  
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.  
NOTE: Gas model dryers are equipped with an ignition system, which has internal diagnostics. If  
ignition is not established after one (1) time, the heat circuit in the ignition module will attempt  
two (2) more ignitions (total of three [3] ignition attempts). If there is no flame after the third  
ignition attempt, the module will lock out until it is manually reset. To reset the ignition system,  
open and close the main door and restart the dryer.  
A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to ensure that the water  
column pressure is correct and consistent.  
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body):  
Natural Gas---------------------- 3.5 Inches (8.7 mb) Water Column  
Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ----- 10.5 Inches (26.1 mb) Water Column  
IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be  
regulated at the source (L.P. tank), or an external regulator must be added to each  
dryer.  
4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits:  
a. Door Switch(es)  
b. Hi-Limit Thermostats  
c. Cycling Thermostat  
d. Sail Switch  
NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the lint drawer. While pushing  
the lint drawer switch in, start a drying cycle. The heating unit should not activate (wait  
30-seconds). If heat does activate, make the necessary adjustments to the sail switch.  
5. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.  
NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the  
manual supplied with the dryer.

6. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are  
necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.  
BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING  
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material  
with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove  
this coating.  
J. PREOPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS  
Microprocessor Controller (Computer)  
1. When the microprocessor controller (computer) is in the ready state, the liquid crystal display (L.C.D.)  
screen will display “Ready, Insert $XX.XX (amount) to Start.”  
2. Insert coin(s). Once the correct “Amount To Start” has been inserted, the L.C.D. will display “Select  
Temperature.”  
3. Select temperature by pressing “HI,” “MED,” or “LO.” The cycle will start and the L.C.D. will display the  
Dry Cycle selected and the remaining time.  
4. The dryer will continue through the drying and cooling cycles, until the vended time has expired.  
NOTE: To stop dryer, open main door or press the pause key. Continuation of the cycle will resume  
only after the door has been closed and any of the three (3) temperature selections is pressed.  
5. Upon completion of drying and cooling cycles, the tone (buzzer) will sound and the dryer will go into the  
Anti-Wrinkle mode for 99 minutes, or until the main door has been opened.  
IMPORTANT: For more detailed information regarding the microprocessor controller (computer) on  
your dryer, refer to the MPUser’s manual included with the dryer.  
K. SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS  
If the dryer is to be shutdown (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be performed:  
1. Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.  
2. Discontinue the gas supply:  
a. SHUT OFF external gas supply shutoff valve.  
b. SHUT OFF internal gas supply shutoff valve located in the gas valve burner area.

SECTIONVI  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
A. CLEANING  
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from  
various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The frequency of cleaning can best be  
determined from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper airflow.  
The accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, a Maytag dryer will  
provide many years of efficient, trouble free, and most importantly safe operation.  
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLYCOMBUSTIBLE. THE  
ACCUMULATION OFLINT CAN CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.  
WARNING: KEEPDRYERAREACLEARAND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORSAND  
LIQUIDS.  
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage, which is considered six (6) to eight (8)  
operational (running) hours per day.  
IMPORTANT: Dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6  
months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.  
SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE  
EVERY THIRD OR FOURTH LOAD  
Clean the lint screen every third or fourth load. A clogged lint screen will cause poor dryer performance. The  
lint drawer is located below the main door (refer to the illustration on page 24). Open the lint drawer, brush or  
vacuum the lint off the lint screen, and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.  
NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screen can best be determined from experience at each  
location.  
WEEKLY  
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket)  
area.

heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.  
NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. Aproduct intended for the  
cleaning of appliances is recommended.  
B. ADJUSTMENTS  
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER  
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff  
valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be  
replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete  
operational check of ALL safety devices (door switches, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit  
thermostats).  
C. LUBRICATION  
The motor bearings, idler bearings, and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently  
lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even  
though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. The basket (tumbler)  
bearings used in the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the  
addition of a grease fitting, which can be obtained elsewhere, or from the Maytag dealer by ordering kit P/N  
882159 (includes two [2] fittings).

2. For Models with Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module (Type I)  
Theory of Operation:  
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the  
chosen trial for ignition time (6-seconds), the flame sensor detects  
gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas  
valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module  
will “LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the  
end of the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will  
be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and  
two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end  
of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI  
module will “LOCKOUT” (light emitting diode [L.E.D.] diagnostic  
indicator flashes).  
A steady L.E.D. indicator indicates normal operation.  
No L.E.D. indicator indicates a power or an internal failure has occurred.  
3. For Models with DSI Module (Type II)  
Theory of Operation:  
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the  
chosen trial for ignition time (8-seconds), the flame sensor detects  
gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas  
valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module  
will “LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the  
end of the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will  
be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and  
two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end  
of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI  
module will “LOCKOUT” (a red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator will  
flash).  
An unlit red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates normal operation.  
Alit green L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates dryer controller is calling for heat and that ALL interlocks  
have been satisfied.

MANUAL RESET BURNER HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS  
This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit thermostat, which is monitored by the Phase 7  
computer. If the burner hi-limit is open prior to the start of the drying cycle, the dryer will start momentarily and  
then shut down, the Phase 7 computer will display “BURNER HIGH LIMIT FAULT” with an audio indication.  
If the burner hi-limit opens during a drying cycle, the Phase 7 computer will also display the same error code  
described above, along with an audio indication. If the drum temperature is above 100° F (38° C), the dryer will  
continue to run with no heat for 3 minutes or until the drum temperature has dropped below 100° F (38° C). The  
pause key must be held down for 3-seconds to clear the fault. The open burner hi-limit must be reset “manually”  
prior to the start of the next cycle.  
WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer before attempting to reset hi-limit.
