Use the Cycle Control knob to select available cycles on your dryer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See the online “Cycle Guide” for details. The Cycle  Control Knob can also be pressed to activate the Extra Power option for harder-to-dry loads. See the “Options” section for more information.

START/PAUSE

Touch and hold until the LED comes on to start a cycle. Touch Start during a cycle to pause it.

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the estimated time remaining (for Sensor cycles) or actual time remaining (for Timed cycles) will be displayed. Touch the setting names next to the display to adjust settings. See the online “Cycle Guide” for details. Not all settings are available with all cycles.

More Time/Less Time
Touch More Time or Less Time with Timed Cycles to increase or decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Quick Dry cycle.

Temp
When using any cycle except Sanitize, you may select a dry temperature based on the type of load you are drying. Use the warmest setting safe for the garments in the load.  Follow garment label instructions.

Dryness
When using Sensor Cycles (except for the Sanitize cycle), you may select a Dryness Level based on the type of load you are drying.
NOTE: Dryness Level is for use with Sensor Cycles only.

OPTIONS

Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.

Wrinkle Prevent
If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch Wrinkle Prevent to add up to 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On steam models, on some cycles, you may select the “+Steam” setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.

Steam
Steam adds steam to the end of certain Sensor Cycles to help smooth wrinkles. It is not available on Sanitize, Delicates, Steam Refresh, or Timed Cycles (Timed Dry, Quick  Dry). Steam can be used with High, Medium High, or Medium heat settings.
This option adds approximately 15 minutes to the total cycle time.

Cycle Signal
Use this to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying cycle on or off. Touch and hold Reduce Static for 3 seconds to turn sounds on or off.

Control Lock
Use to lock the controls of the dryer and avoid an accidental change in cycle options or preferences during a drying cycle. Touch and hold Steam for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the controls of the dryer. During this time, the LED display will count down “32-1.” Once the controls are locked, the Control Lock icon will illuminate.
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold Steam for at least 3 seconds.

Not all features, cycles, and options are available on all models. Appearance may vary.

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your fingertip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.

Reduce Static
Touch to add this option to selected Automatic/Sensor Cycles. The dryer will automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture into the load to help reduce static. This option adds approximately 3 minutes to the total cycle time.

Extra Power
The Extra Power option can be used with both Sensor and Timed Dry Cycles. Press the Cycle Control knob to activate the Extra Power option, which provides an additional 10  minutes of cycle time (including additional heat and tumbling, where applicable). When Extra Power is activated, the Cycle Control knob will illuminate and the estimated time remaining on the display will show an additional 10 minutes.

CONNECTIVITY

Use to select available connectivity options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Download the Maytag™ app and follow the instructions to connect your dryer to your home Wi-Fi network. You may also visit www.maytag.com/connect.

CYCLE STATUS AND CONNECTED STATUS

The Cycle Status indicators show the progress of a cycle. The Connected Status indicators show the connected status. Not all indicators are available on all models.
Sensing
The Sensing indicator will light during Sensor Cycles to indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Prevent.

Wet
The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.

Damp
The load still has moisture remaining, a good point in the cycle to remove a garment or air dry or iron.

Cool Down
The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.

Check Vent
This indicator will show the status of airflow through the dryer and the dryer vent system for the dryer’s life. This feature is available during Sensor and Steam Cycles only.  During the sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light will come on if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected. This light will stay on for the entire cycle. The light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle, touching Power, or opening the door. It will continue to illuminate during the cycle unless the root cause is resolved.
NOTE: The dryer will continue to operate even while the indicator is lit, but poor airflow can impact dry times and overall performance. If there are other error issues during a  cycle, the Check Vent indicator will not light up. Refer to the online “Troubleshooting” section.

End
This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if “End” is displayed.

Control Lock
This will illuminate once the controls are locked.
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold Steam for at least 3 seconds.

Connected
This will illuminate when the dryer is connected to the internet.

Smart Delay
This will illuminate when a Smart Delay is in effect: the operation of the dryer has been delayed to a time when lower utility rates are in effect.

The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Temperatures shown in bold are the default settings for that cycle.

Normal cycle to increase energy saving versus Regular cycle by using a slightly lower heat level.

On steam models, you may select the “+ Steam” setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes. This is available only with High and Medium drying temperature settings.

NOTE: Government energy certifications for this model were based on the Normal cycle, Highest temperature setting, Normal dryness level.
