Dry a small load fast with the Quick Dry cycle, which pairs nicely with the Quick Wash cycle on select Maytag® washers to get clothes ready in no time. The Wrinkle Prevent option runs for up to 150 minutes after the cycle has ended to keep wrinkles from forming as the dryer continues to tumble.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?

A: There are several possible causes:

• Clogged lint screen or vent: Blocked airflow prevents efficient drying. Clean the lint screen before or after every load, and inspect the vent duct regularly for lint buildup. A "Check Vent" notification will appear if a clog is detected.
• Overloading the dryer: Too many clothes reduce air circulation. Leave space for tumbling to allow efficient drying.
• Very wet clothes: Make sure the washer’s spin cycle is working correctly. Starting with dripping-wet laundry will increase drying time.
• Incorrect cycle selection: Using low-heat or delicate cycles for heavy items like towels won’t provide enough heat. For thick fabrics, use the Extra Power option to boost performance.

Q: How do I use the smart features with my Maytag™ dryer?

A:

• Install the app: Download the Maytag™ app and connect your dryer via Wi-Fi.
• Remote control: Start, stop, or monitor drying cycles from your phone.
• Custom cycles: Create and save personalized drying settings for future use.
• Notifications: Receive alerts when a cycle is complete.
• Troubleshooting help: The app can assist with diagnosing issues, helping you avoid unnecessary service calls.

Q: What is the "Wrinkle Prevent" option?

A: This feature periodically tumbles the load for up to 150 minutes after the cycle ends, using steam to reduce wrinkles if you're unable to unload the dryer right away.

Q: Why won’t my dryer start?

A: Check the following:

• Power connection: Make sure it’s plugged into a grounded outlet and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
• Door latch: Ensure the door is fully closed—this is a safety requirement.
• Start button: Press and hold the "Start" button firmly to begin the cycle.
• Thermal fuse: If the dryer isn’t heating or running, a blown thermal fuse could be the issue. This requires professional service.
• Control Lock: If the controls are unresponsive, check if the "Control Lock" or "Child Lock" feature is active and disable it.

Q: How do I reset my dryer?

A: Unplug the dryer for 1 to 5 minutes, then plug it back in. This can reset the internal system. Try running a cycle again after restoring power.

Q: Why is my dryer running but not heating?

A: Possible reasons include:

• Blocked vent or lint screen: Poor airflow can cause the heating element to shut off for safety.
• Faulty heating element: A burnt-out element needs to be replaced.
• Thermal fuse or thermostat failure: These parts can be tested and replaced by a technician if necessary.

Q: Why is my dryer making strange noises?

A:

• Foreign objects: Loose items like coins, buttons, or zippers can cause banging or rattling noises.
• Worn parts: Squeaking or thumping could mean worn drum rollers or a failing drive belt. If the belt breaks, the drum won’t spin at all.

Q: What does the "Check Vent" notification mean?

A: This alert signals that airflow is restricted due to lint buildup in the dryer vent or lint screen. Regular cleaning of both is essential for performance and safety.
