SECTION VI

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 air circulation. 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 HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

WARNING: 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 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 build up.

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 screen is located in a drawer below the main door (refer to the illustration on page 37). 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.

WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE ELECTRICALSUPPLYTO THE DRYER.
