Allowances must be made for the opening and closing of the control door and the lint door.

12 Maytag Co. 113394-13

D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail switch fluttering problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating.

Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square feet (0.14 square meters) is required for each dryer. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.

IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located in an area directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.

To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over the openings, this make-up air must be increased by approximately thirty-three percent (33%). Make-up air openings should not be located in an area directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.

It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to ALL the dryers.

EXAMPLE: For a bank of four (4) dryers, two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 2 feet by 1-1/2 feet (0.61 meters by 0.46 meters) are acceptable.

Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.

IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.

NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.

113394-13 Maytag Co. 13

E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS

1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information

Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.

CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

The ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.

Horizontal Venting:

When single dryer venting is used, the length of ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 25 feet (7.62 meters). The minimum diameter of this ductwork must be at least 8-inches (20.32 cm). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the distance from the last dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 15 feet (4.57 meters). The shape of the ductwork is not critical as long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. It is suggested that the use of 90 turns be avoided; use 30 and/or 45 angles instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. Including basket (tumbler)/dryer elbow connections or elbows used for outside protection from the weather, no more than two (2) elbows should be used in the exhaust duct run. If more than two (2) elbows are used, the cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased. ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.

Vertical Venting:

When single dryer venting is used, the length of the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 15 feet (4.57 meters). The minimum diameter of this ductwork must be at least 8-inches (20.32 cm). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the distance from the last dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 15 feet (4.57 meters). The shape of the ductwork is not so critical as long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. It is suggested that the use of 90 turns be avoided; use 30 and/or 45 bends instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.

14 Maytag Co. 113394-13

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.7 inches (1.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).

NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening.

NOTE: As per the National Fuel Gas Code, Exhaust ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be constructed of sheet metal or other noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less than 26 gauge (0.0195-inches [0.50 mm]) thick.

Outside Ductwork Protection

To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90 elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180 turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.

2. Single Dryer Venting

When possible, it is suggested to provide a separate exhaust duct for each dryer. The exhaust duct should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. It is suggested that the use of 90 turns in the ducting be avoided; use 30 and/or 45 angles instead. The shape of the exhaust ductwork is not critical as long as the minimum cross section area is provided.

IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must beno less than 0 and must not exceed 0.7 inches (1.74 mb) of water column.

113394-13 Maytag Co. 15

IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be increased to an extent. When the ductwork approaches the maximum limits noted in this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.

ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.

NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening.

Outside Ductwork Protection

To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90 elbow bent downward should be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the weather by using a 180 turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.

3. Piping Connections

ALL components/materials must conform to National Fuel Gas Code Specifications ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing), as well as local codes and ordinances and must be done by a qualified professional. It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of ALL the appliance Btu being supplied.

The dryer is provided with a 3/4 N.P.T. inlet pipe connection located at the right side of the base of the dryer. The minimum pipe size (supply line) to the dryer is 3/4 diameter. For ease in servicing, the gas supply line of each dryer must have its own shutoff valve.

The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary depending on the distance this line travels from the gas meter or, in the case of L.P. gas, the supply tank, other gas-operated appliances on the same line, etc. Specific information regarding supply line size should be determined by the gas supplier.

NOTE: Undersized gas supply piping can create a low or inconsistent pressure, which will result in erratic operation of the burner ignition system.

113394-13 Maytag Co. 25

Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) pipe gas loop be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 12.0 inches (29.9 mb) of water column (W.C.) pressure.

NOTE: A water column test pressure of 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) for natural gas and 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) for liquid propane (L.P.) dryers is required at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for proper and safe operation.

A 1/8 N.P.T. plugged tap, accessible for a test gauge connection, must be installed in the main gas supply line immediately upstream of each dryer.

IMPORTANT: Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of natural gas and L.P. gas must be used.

IMPORTANT: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a soapy water solution (liquid detergent works well).

WARNING: NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME!!!

IMPORTANT: The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP

The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:

1. Read ALL CAUTION, WARNING, and DIRECTION labels attached to the dryer.

2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label. In the case of 208 VAC or 240 VAC, the supply voltagemust matchthe electric service specifications of the data exactly.

3. Check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer data label.

4. The sail switch damper assembly was installed and adjusted at the factory prior to shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that this important safety control is functioning. (Refer to sail switch adjustment on page 28.)

5. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for tightness and security.

6. Be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.

7. Check ALL back guard panels and service box covers have been replaced.

8. Check the lint drawer to ensure that it is closed and secured in place.

9. Rotate the basket (tumbler/drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely.

10. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to ensure that they are ALL tight.

11. Check vent is connected to the dryer and is exhausted to the outdoors.

12. There should be a source of fresh air entering the room. This source should not be near where the dryers exhaust to the outside.

113394-13 Maytag Co. 27

I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS

ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal location (installation) conditions.

1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.

2. Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.

a. When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for the air to be purged from the lines.

NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.

NOTE: Gas dryers are equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system, which has internal diagnostics. If ignition is not established within three (3) times, the heat circuit in the DSI module will LOCK OUT until it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close the main door and restart the dryer.

b. A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to ensure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.

NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body):

Natural Gas --------------------3.5 Inches (8.7 mb) Water Column. Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ----10.5 Inches (26.1 mb) Water Column.

IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer. The water column pressure must be regulated at the source (L.P. tank), or an external regulator must be added to each dryer.

3. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits:

a. Door Switch(es)

b. Hi-Limit Thermostats

c. Cycling Thermostat

d. Sail Switch

28 Maytag Co. 113394-13

NOTE: To check for proper sail switch operation, open the main door and while holding main door switch plunger in, start dryer. Dryer should start but heat circuit should not be activated (on). If the heat system is activated, the sail switch is improperly adjusted and must be adjusted by bending the actuator arm of the sail switch toward the burner box. If the actuator arm is bent too far toward the burner box of the dryer, the dryer may not have heat when needed. After any adjustment to the sail switch, the above procedure must be repeated to verify proper operation of the sail switch.

4. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.

NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the manual supplied with the dryer.

5. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.

BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING

The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove this coating.

6. Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3] models only). While the dryer is operating, check to see if the blower (impellor/fan) wheel is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the blower (impellor/fan) wheel should spin in the clockwise (CW) direction. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2) of the three (3) leads at connections L1, L2, and L3 of the power supply to the dryer.

IMPORTANT: If the blower (impellor/fan) wheel is rotating in the wrong direction it will drastically reduce drying efficiency and it can also cause premature component failure.

SECTION V 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 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 screen is located in a drawer below the main door. 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 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.

113394-13 Maytag Co. 33

90 DAYS

Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryers internal exhaust ducting.

WARNING: THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.

WARNING: INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BACK DRAFT DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.

NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.

NOTE: When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of appliances is recommended.

B. ADJUSTMENTS

7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and valves. Complete operational check of ALL safety devices (door switches, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner, and hi-limit thermostats).

C. LUBRICATION

The motor bearings, idler bearings, and under normal/most conditions, the basket (tumbler) bearings are permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 grease or its equivalent. The basket (tumbler) bearings used in the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting which can be obtained elsewhere, or from Maytag by ordering kit P/N 882159 (includes two [2] fittings).

34 Maytag Co. 113394-13

D. LINT DRAWER REMOVAL

SECTION VI DATA LABEL INFORMATION

36 Maytag Co. 113394-13

SECTION VII PROCEDURE FOR FUNCTIONAL CHECK

OF REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS

1. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Board

a. Upon completing installation of the replacement microprocessor controller (computer) board, reestablish power to the dryer.

b. Start the drying cycle by pressing any of the preset cycles in letters A-F.

c. Verify that the applicable indicator lights on the back side of the microprocessor controller (computer) board are lit. (Refer to the illustration below.)

113394-13 Maytag Co. 37

2. For Models with Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module (Type I)

Theory of Operation:

Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the chosen trial for ignition time (6-seconds), the flame sensor detects gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will LOCKOUT if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the end of the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI module will LOCKOUT (light emitting diode [L.E.D.] diagnostic indicator flashes).

A steady L.E.D. indicator indicates normal operation.

No L.E.D. indicator indicates a power or an internal failure has occurred.

3. For Models with DSI Module (Type II)

Theory of Operation:

Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the chosen trial for ignition time (8-seconds), the flame sensor detects gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will LOCKOUT if the gas burner flame is not sensed at the end of the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame is not sensed at the end of the third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI module will LOCKOUT (a red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator will flash).

An unlit red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates normal operation.

A lit green L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates dryer controller is calling for heat and that ALL interlocks have been satisfied.

SECTION VIII MANUAL RESET BURNER HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS

A. PHASE 7

This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit thermostat, which is monitored by the Phase 7 computer. If the burner hi-limit is open prior to the start of the drying cycle, the dryer will start momentarily and then shut down, the Phase 7 computer will display burner HIGH LIMIT fault with an audio indication.

If the burner hi-limit opens during a drying cycle, the Phase 7 computer will also display the same error code described above, along with an audio indication. If the drum temperature is above 100 F (38 C), the dryer will continue to run with no heat for 3 minutes or until the drum temperature has dropped below 100 F (38 C). The clear/stop button on the Phase 7 keyboard (touch pad) must be pressed to clear the error condition. The open burner hi-limit must be reset manually prior to the start of the next cycle.

B. DUAL TIMER

This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit thermostat. If the burner hi-limit is open prior to the start of the drying cycle, or during the cycle, the dryer will not recognize the open state of the burner hi-limit and will start or continue through the drying cycle with no heat. Manual reset hi-limit must be reset manually.

This hi-temperature condition may be caused due to a restricted exhaust, poor airflow, or improper burner operation.

The location of the burner hi-limit is on the right side of the burner box, looking at the burner from the back of the dryer.

WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer before attempting to reset hi-limit.

The exclusive Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.) system will extinguish fires that may start in the drying basket (tumbler). A series of sensors positioned throughout the basket (tumbler) and interfaced with the microprocessor controller (computer) will trigger the S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to extinguish the flames quickly. The water jet(s) remain on for 2 minutes and will automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or reignites. While the water jet(s) are activated, the basket (tumbler) will jog to move the water throughout the load. The microprocessor controller (computer) will display until the dryer is attended to, that the system was activated.

BEFORE YOU START!

CHECK LOCAL CODES AND PERMITS

Call your local water company or the proper municipal authority for information regarding local codes.

IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to local, state, and federal regulations or codes.

IMPORTANT: It is the installers or owners responsibility to see that the necessary or required water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility if the S.A.F.E. system is not connected, installed, or maintained properly.

INSTALLATION

1. Requirements

The S.A.F.E. system must be supplied with a minimum water pipe size of 1/2 and be provided with 40 psi +/- 20 psi (2.75 bar +/- 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual bypass, a second source with the same piping and pressure requirements is required.

Flexible 1/2 feeds must be provided to avoid damage to electric water solenoid valve by vibration.

IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.

If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/ freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.

WARNING: If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will be INOPERATIVE!!

IMPORTANT: Appliance is to be connected to the water mains using a new hose set and the old hose set should not be reused.

2. Water Connections:

The water connection is made to the 3/4-11.5 NH hose adaptor of the electric water solenoid valve, located at the rear upper midsection of the dryer (refer to the photograph).

The water solenoid valve has a 3/8 M.P.T. connection supplied with a 3/4-11.5 NH hose adapter to provide the minimum 1/2-inch supply (feed) line. Flexible supply line/coupling must be used in an effort to avoid damaging the electric water solenoid valve.

NOTE: The 3/4-11.5 NH is a standard hose coupling screw thread. It is not to be confused with 3/4 N.P.T. The sealing of an NH connection is made with a washer opposed to the mating threads of an N.P.T. assembly. The two (2) thread designs are not compatible.

IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY. It is recommended that a filter or strainer be installed in the water supply line.

OPTIONAL MANUAL BYPASS

Provisions are made in the dryer S.A.F.E. system for the installation of an optional manual bypass. Depending on the model dryer, the connections for the manual bypass are made at the T or three way fitting located in the outlet supply side of the water solenoid valve. The use and connections of this manual bypass are at the option or discretion of the owner.

The water connection for the manual bypass is made to the T or three way fitting, which has a 3/8 F.P.T. and a coupling must be used to provide the minimum 1/2 supply (feed) line.

If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to protect these water lines from freezing.

Typical Water Supply

42 Maytag Co. 113394-13

WARNING: If the water in the supply line or water solenoid valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will be INOPERATIVE!!

The manual ball co*ck shutoff valve must be located outside of the dryer at a distance from the dryer where it is easily accessible.

3. Electrical Requirements

No independent external power source or supply connection is necessary. The 24 volt power to operate the S.A.F.E. system is accomplished internally in the dryer (from the dryer controls).

WARNING: Electrical power must be provided to the dryer at ALL times. If the main electrical power supply to the dryer is disconnected, the S.A.F.E. system is INOPERATIVE!!

WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Electrical shock hazard can result in serious injury.

If the water dispensing system is activated do not attempt to operate the dryer.

If the water dispensing system is activated have the dryer inspected by a qualified agency before operating the dryer.

S.A.F.E. System Theory of Operation While the dryer is in an idle state, or 20-seconds after the heat turns off, the Phase 7 control monitors the thermistor probe, located in the top of the basket (tumbler) chamber, and records the minimum temperature. If the minimum recorded thermistor probe temperature is greater than 120 F (48 C) and the control detects a 50 rise in temperature, this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will activate.

While a drying cycle is in process and the heat has turned on at least once, the Phase 7 control monitors the exhaust temperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature set point is set greater than 160 F (71 C) and the control detects an exhaust temperature rise 25 F greater than set point, this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will activate. If set point is below 160 F (71 C), the trip point will be 185 F (85 C).

Once the S.A.F.E. system routine is activated, the control will display S.A.F.E. SYSTEM ACTIVATED and water will be injected into the basket (tumbler) chamber. Any time water is being injected into the basket (tumbler), the basket (tumbler) drive will turn the load for 1-second every 15-seconds. This process will continue for a minimum of 2 minutes. After the 2 minutes have elapsed, the control will check if the temperature remained above trip point; if so, the water will remain on. The control will continue to check if the temperature is above trip point every 30-seconds. If the water has been on for a constant 10 minutes, the water will be turned off, regardless of the temperature, and the control will display S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED. If the temperature has dropped below trip point, the control will turn off the water prior to 10 minutes.

System Reset After the microprocessor controller (computer) determines that the situation is under control and shuts the water being injected into the basket (tumbler) off, the microprocessor controller (computer) display will read S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED, and the horn/tone will sound until turned off manually. To turn off the horn/tone press the red STOP/CLEAR key on the keyboard (touch pad).

On dryers built before 02-02-2015 Pressing the red STOP/CLEAR key on the keyboard (touch pad) to turn off the horn will also reset the microprocessor controller (computer).

On dryers built after 02-02-2015 Once the microprocessor controller (computer) displays S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED, a service call to your local dealer or Maytag is required to reset the microprocessor controller (computer). Qualified personnel will inspect the dryer and, if it is found to be safe for operation, reset the control.

S.A.F.E. System Water Valve Check

The operation of the water solenoid valve can be tested to ensure that the water supply system and valve are functional. Before attempting a system check, be sure that ALL water supply shutoff valves to the dryer are in the OPEN position; the dryer must be in the READY mode with no cycle loaded or in progress.

1. Press and hold the red STOP/CLEAR key (while in READY mode and no cycle is in progress).

2. Press and hold the A key.

3. Water valve will open and water will be dispensed into basket (tumbler) area as long as both keys are held.

The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will prompt the user to perform a S.A.F.E. system valve check at every 4000 hours to ensure proper functionality. At the 4000 hour mark, the control will wait for end of the cycle and then will prompt the user to PLEASE EMPTY TUMBLER, THEN PRESS THE STOP/CLEAR AND A KEYS TO TEST THE WATER VALVE. When the STOP/CLEAR and A keys are pressed, the control will activate the S.A.F.E. system water valve for 2-seconds, at which point the control will prompt the user with the following message: IF WATER DID NOT TURN ON, CALL FOR SERVICE. THANK YOU.

NOTE: The control will not let the user continue until the valve test has been completed.

S.A.F.E. System Diagnostics

In the event that the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) detects a fault in the S.A.F.E. system, the microprocessor controller (computer) will display the message S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED READY. To find out why the S.A.F.E. system is disabling, press and hold the red STOP/CLEAR and green START keys. This will cause the microprocessor controller (computer) to display a diagnostic message, as detailed in the S.A.F.E. SYSTEM Diagnostics Messages section.

S.A.F.E. System Diagnostics Messages

OPEN THERMISTOR PROBE This message indicates that the S.A.F.E. system thermistor probe either is not connected or is damaged. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will immediately enter S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode.

SHORTED THERMISTOR PROBE This message indicates that the S.A.F.E. system thermistor probe is damaged or the wiring is shorted. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will immediately enter S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode.

DISCONNECTED WATER VALVE This message indicates that the water valve is open or that it is not connected to the control. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will continue to monitor the condition for a period of 5 minutes before entering S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode. Once the condition is corrected, the control will continue to monitor the condition for 1 minute before exiting S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode.

SHORTED WATER VALVE This message indicates that the water valve is shorted or that the wiring to the valve is shorted. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will continue to monitor the condition for a period of 5 minutes before entering S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode. Once the condition is corrected, the control will continue to monitor the condition for 1 minute before exiting S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode.

WATER NOT CONNECTED This indicates that there is no water pressure at the water valve. This will occur if water is not connected to the dryer, or if there is low water pressure in the water line coming to the dryer. This could also signify a defective pressure switch or defective wiring to the pressure switch. If this condition is detected, the Phase 7 non-coin control will continue to monitor the condition for a period of 5 minutes before entering S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode. Once the condition is corrected, the control will continue to monitor the condition for 1 minute before exiting S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED mode.

STARTING A CYCLE WHEN COMPUTER IS IN S.A.F.E. SYSTEM IS DISABLED MODE

When the S.A.F.E. system is disabled, the user can still start a cycle. However, when a cycle is started, the microprocessor controller (computer) will display the following message: S.A.F.E. SYSTEM IS DISABLED. PRESS START TO CONTINUE. This message will be displayed every time a cycle is started, until the disabling condition has been corrected.
