Warranty Information _________________
Returning Warranty Cards
Before any dryer leaves the manufacturer’s test area, a
warranty card is placed on the back side of the main door
glass. These warranty cards are intended to serve the
customer where we record the individual installation date
and warranty information to better serve you should you file a
warranty claim.
Important
A separate warranty card must be completed and
returned for each individual dryer.
Note
Be sure to include the installation date when
returning the warranty card(s).
Warranty
For a copy of the manufacturer’s commercial warranty
covering your particular dryer(s), contact the Maytag distributor
from whom you purchased the equipment and request a dryer
warranty form. If the distributor cannot be contacted or is
unknown, warranty information can be obtained from the
Maytag Co.
Note
Whenever contacting the Maytag Co. for warranty
information, be sure to have the dryer’s model
number and serial number available so that your inquiry
can be handled in an expeditious manner.
Routine Maintenance _________________
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, the dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble
free, and most importantly, safe operation.
Warning
Lint from most fabrics is highly combustible. The
accumulation of lint can create a potential fire
hazard. Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
Note
Suggested time intervals shown are for average
usage which is considered 6 to 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 door/
drawer is located just below the loading door of the dryer.
Open the lint door/drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen,
and remove the lint. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.
Note
To remove the lint drawer from the dryer, pull
drawer out approximately halfway. Press the lint
door/drawer stop downward and pull the drawer out.
Important
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 area.
Warning
To avoid the hazard of electrical shock,
discontinue electrical supply to the dryer.
90 Days
Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush
or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s) casing
opening.
Note
To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or
touching ignitor/flame-probe assembly.
Every 6 Months
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished
exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust
ducting.
Note
The accumulation of lint in the exhaust ductwork
can create a potential fire hazard.
