  There are several reasons why your clothes might not be drying properly in your Maytag Dryer. The lint screen might be clogged and needs cleaning before each load. The exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood could be blocked with lint, restricting airflow, so you should clean the exhaust system. The load might be too large, so separate it to tumble freely. Also, ensure you're using the correct cycle and not the Air Dry cycle. Using only one fabric softener sheet once can also help.

  To shorten drying times on your Maytag Dryer, start by cleaning the lint screen before each load. Ensure the exhaust vent isn't too long or has too many turns, as long venting increases drying times; consult the Installation Instructions. Use a 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material. Separate large loads so clothes can tumble freely. Also, make sure the dryer is operating at a temperature above 45ºF (7ºC).

  If your Maytag Dryer isn't running, first ensure the door is completely closed. Then, press and HOLD the START/PAUSE button until you hear the drum moving. Check your household fuses or circuit breakers, as electric dryers use two, and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if needed. If the problem persists, call an electrician. Also, electric dryers require a 240-volt power supply, so check with a qualified electrician. Finally, ensure you are using a time-delay fuse.

  If your Maytag Dryer is located in a closet, ensure the closet doors have ventilation openings at the top and bottom. The front of the dryer needs a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and the rear requires 5" (127 mm) for most installations. Refer to the Installation Instructions for detailed guidance.
