Electrical Connection

To properly install your dryer, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

This dryer is manufactured ready to install with a 3-wire electrical supply connection. The neutral ground conductor is permanently connected to the neutral conductor (white wire) within the dryer If the dryer is installed with a 4-wire electrical supply connection, the neutral ground conductor must be removed from the external ground connector (green screw), and secured under the neutral terminal (center or white wire) of the terminal block. When the neutral ground conductor is secured under the neutral terminal (center

or white wire) of the terminal block, the dryer cabinet is isolated from the neutral conductor

Mobile home - Additional installation requirements

This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The installation must conform to the

Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUI) Part 280)

If local codes do not permit the connection of a neutral ground wire to the neutral wire,

see "Optional 3-wire connection" section.

,,,HHiiiiii:

A 4-wire power supply connection must be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding

through the neutral is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.

If using a power supply cord:

Use a UI. listed power supply cord kit marked for use with clothes dryers. The kit should contain:

A UI_ listed 30-amp power supply cord, rated 120/240 volt minimum. The cord should be type SRI) or SRI)T and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long. The wires that connect to the dryer must end in ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.

A UI. listed strain relief.

If your outlet looks like this:

4-wire receptacle (14-30R)

Then choose a 4-wire power supply cord with ring or spade terminals and UI_ listed strain relief. The 4-wire power supply cord, at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long, must have four 10-gauge

Clothes Dryer specifications

Maytag, a well-known name in household appliances, offers a range of clothes dryers designed to deliver exceptional performance, durability, and convenience. One of the standout features of Maytag clothes dryers is their robust construction. Built with heavy-duty materials, these dryers are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while providing reliable operation.

A key technology that sets Maytag clothes dryers apart is the PowerDry system, which utilizes powerful drying features to remove moisture from clothes more efficiently. This system is designed to achieve superior drying performance with a combination of higher heat and optimized airflow, ensuring that every load is dried thoroughly. This is particularly beneficial for larger or bulkier items, such as towels and blankets that can often take longer to dry.

Additionally, Maytag dryers come equipped with advanced sensor drying technology. This feature monitors moisture levels in the drum and automatically adjusts drying time based on the load, preventing over-drying and helping fabrics maintain their quality and longevity. This not only saves energy but also eliminates the guesswork often associated with traditional drying cycles.

In terms of convenience, many Maytag dryers feature large capacity drums, allowing users to dry larger loads in a single cycle. This is particularly advantageous for families or anyone with a busy lifestyle, reducing the time spent on laundry. Some models also include a steam-generated wrinkle control option, which helps to reduce the need for ironing and keeps clothes looking fresh.

Another highlight of Maytag clothes dryers is their user-friendly controls and settings. With intuitive displays and a range of drying cycles, from normal to delicate, users can easily select the appropriate option for each type of fabric. Many models also feature a reverse-a-door functionality, allowing for flexible installation based on laundry room layouts.

Energy efficiency is another important consideration, and Maytag dryers often incorporate eco-friendly options to minimize energy usage while still delivering powerful performance. With a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, Maytag stands out in the market, providing long-lasting and efficient drying solutions for households everywhere. Whether for everyday laundry or special items, Maytag clothes dryers offer a combination of strength, technology, and convenience that meets diverse laundry needs.
