and shipped in the dryer’s basket (tumbler). This key should be made accessible because it
will be needed throughout various phases in the installation of the dryer.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid or with the skid removed. To unskid
the dryer, locate and remove the four (4) bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are
at the rear base (remove the back panel for access), and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber.
To remove the two (2) bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove the lint door.
With the skid removed, to make it easier to slide the dryer into its final position, slightly lower ALL four (4)
leveling legs, so that the dryer will slide on the legs instead of the base frame.
The lint coops of ALL model dryers are supported during shipping by a bracket. REMOVE THIS BRACKET
BEFORE STARTING THE DRYER.
Leveling Dryer
The dryer is equipped with four (4) leveling legs, one (1) at each corner of the base. Two (2) are located at the
rear of the dryer base, and two (2) are located in the lint chamber (coop). To increase bearing life and improve
efficiency, the dryer should be tilted slightly to the rear.
7
B. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Before installing the dryer, be sure the location conforms to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of such
codes or ordinances the location must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1 LATEST
EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: 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).
1. The dryer must be installed on a sound level floor capable of supporting its weight. Carpeting must be
removed from the floor area that the dryer is to rest on.
IMPORTANT: “The dryer must be installed on noncombustible floors only.”
2. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water or weather.
3. The dryer is for use in noncombustible locations.
4. Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided as noted in this manual (refer to Fresh Air Supply
Requirements in Section D).
5. Clearance provisions must be made from noncombustible construction as noted in this manual (refer to
Dryer Enclosure Requirements in Section C).
6. Provisions must be made for adequate clearances for servicing and for operation as noted in this manual
(refer to Dryer Enclosure Requirements in Section C).
7. Dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors as noted in this manual (refer to Exhaust Requirements in

C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of
12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer’s outer top; except along the front of the dryer which may be closed if
desired.
NOTE: Allowances must be made for opening the control door.
X = 12-inch (30.48 cm) minimum, 24-inches (60.96 cm) is suggested for ease of maintenance.
NOTE: Air considerations are important for proper and efficient operation.
Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance must be
made for opening and closing of the control door and the lint door. It is suggested that the dryer be positioned
about 2 feet (0.61 meters) away from the nearest obstruction for ease of installation, maintenance, and service
(to be measured from the back guard). Refer to the illustration above for details.
9
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure 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. If
registers or louvers are installed over the openings, then the area must be increased. 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 the dryers. The dryer must be
installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
EXAMPLE: For a bank of eight (8) dryers, two (2) unrestricted openings measuring 2 feet by 3 feet
(6 square feet [0.61 meters by 0.91 meters] [0.55 square meters]) are acceptable.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air openings should not be located in an area directly near where exhaust
vents exit the building.
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 willVOIDTHEWARRANTY.
10
E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
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, and shutdown of the
burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit, or lint chamber hi-limit protector thermostat. The dryer must
be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
When possible, it is suggested to provide a separate (single) exhaust duct for each dryer.
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN
CREATE APOTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
CAUTION: DRYER MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork
system.
The exhaust 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. The shape of the ductwork is not critical as long as the minimum cross
section area is provided. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended.
It is suggested that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30° or 45° angles instead.
The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions,
which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should overlap the duct to which it is connected.
ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Additionally,
inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and
cleaning.
IMPORTANT: When connecting ductwork to the dryer exhaust duct, be sure that when screws are
used they DO NOT restrict the operation (both opening and closing) of the damper.
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.
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 (i.e., roof or ground level).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust
ductwork.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at the dryer exhaust duct area must
be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column
(W.C.).
11
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
0.0195-inches (26 gauge [0.05 mm]) thick.”
SINGLE DRYER VENTING
IMPORTANT: For exhaust duct runs over 30 feet (9.14 meters) a minimum size of 10-inches
(25.4 cm) must be used.
HORIZONTAL VENTING
When horizontal single 8-inch (20.32 cm) venting is used, the ductwork to the outlet cannot exceed 30 feet
(9.14 meters) refer to Illus. A below. This calculation of 30 feet (9.14 meters) compensates or allows for the
use of a maximum of only one (1) elbow.
Illus. A
12
VERTICAL VENTING
When vertical single venting is used the minimum duct size is 10-inches (25.4 cm) refer to Illus. B below, the
ductwork from the dryer to the outside outlet cannot exceed 60 feet (18.3 meters) refer to Illus. B below. This
calculation compensates for the use of a maximum of three (3) elbows including the two (2) elbows creating the
180° (turned downward) outside outlet.
Illus. B
If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds the above noted specifications, the cross section
area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows or duct run added.
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased
to an extent. For extended ductwork runs, a professional heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
13
MULTIPLE DRYER (COMMON) VENTING
HORIZONTAL VENTING
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts for individual dryers may be channeled
into a common main duct. Each dryer is provided with a back draft damper. The individual ducts should enter
the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45° in the direction of the airflow. No more than
four (4) dryers should be connected to one (1) main common duct run.
The main common duct may be any shape as long as the minimum cross-sectional area is provided. The main
duct should be tapered with the diameter increasing before each individual 8-inch (20.32 cm) duct is added
(refer to Illus. C below and Illus. D on the next page).
Illus. C
MULTIPLE DRYER VENTING (HORIZONTAL)
Horizontal venting must not exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters) – this calculation compensates for the use of a
maximum of only one (1) elbow, which is the outside outlet protection.
NOTE: Distance between dryer single ducts being connected to the main common duct must be a
minimum of 31-3/8” (79.7 cm) dryer width.
Ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at rear area of the
dryer for removal of rear service panels or guards.
Illus. C shows the minimum cross section area for horizontal multiple dryer venting. These figures must be
increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it exhausts has numerous elbows or is
unusually long.
14
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the duct can only be increased
to an extent. For extended ductwork runs, a professional heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
VERTICAL VENTING
Illus. D
MULTIPLE DRYER VENTING (VERTICAL)
The maximum length of venting from the last dryer to where it exhausts:
Vertical venting must not exceed 25 feet (7.62 meters) – this calculation compensates for the use of a maximum
of three (3) elbows including the two (2) elbows creating the 180° (turned downward) outside outlet protection.
IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers maximum should be connected to one (1) main
common duct with a vertical run.
NOTE: Distance between dryer single ducts being connected to the main common duct must be a
minimum of 31-3/8” (79.7 cm) dryer width.
Ductwork should be laid out in such a manner where allowances are made at rear area of the
dryer for removal of rear service panels or guards.
Illus. D shows the minimum cross section area for vertical multiple dryer venting. These figures must be
increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last dryer to where it exhausts has numerous elbows or is
unusually long.
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs the cross section area of the duct can only be increased
to an extent. For extended ductwork runs a professional HVAC firm should be
consulted for proper venting information.
15

3. Piping Connections
ALL components/materials must conform to National Fuel Gas Code SpecificationsANSI 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 LATESTEDITION (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 Btus being supplied.
The dryer is provided with a 1/2” N.P.T. inlet pipe connection located in the upper rear area of the dryer.
The minimum pipe size (supply line) to the dryer is 1/2” dia. For ease in servicing, the gas supply line of
each dryer must have its own shutoff valve.
IMPORTANT: The gas supply line to each dryer must be a minimum of 1/2.” DO NOT REDUCE
THIS PIPE SIZE REQUIREMENT.
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.
22
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. Refer to the illustrations on the previous page.
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 WITHA 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).
23
H. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION AND 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.
3. Check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat or 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 assure that this important safety control is functioning.
5. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for tightness.
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. Make sure the lint coop support bracket has been removed.
9. Check the lint door to assure that it is closed and secured in place.
IMPORTANT: If during installation the lint door safety chain was disconnected, it must be
reconnected or personal injury may result.
10. Rotate the basket (tumbler and drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely.
11. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.
12. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to ensure that they are ALL tight.
24
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.
3. 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: Dryers are equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system, which has internal diagnostics.
If ignition is not established after the first attempt, 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.
A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer to assure 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.
4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits:
a. Door Switches
b. Hi-Limit Thermostats
c. Cycling Thermostat
NOTE: The sail switch can be checked for proper operation by opening the lint door while heating
circuit (gas burner or electric oven) is active (on). The heating unit should shut off within a few
seconds. If not, make necessary adjustments to the sail switch.
5. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.
25
NOTE: If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming section of the
manual supplied with the dryer.
6. The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure 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.
7. Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø] models only). While the dryer is operating, check
to see if the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the
blower wheel (impellor/fan) 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 wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the wrong direction, it will drastically
reduce drying efficiency and it can also cause premature component failure.
J. PREOPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
COIN MODELS
Microprocessor Controller (computer)
1. When the microprocessor controller (computer) is in the ready state, the liquid crystal display (L.C.D.)
screen will display “Ready, Insert $XX.XX (amount) to Start.”
2. Insert coin(s). Once the correct “Amount To Start” has been inserted, the L.C.D. will display “Select
Temperature.”
3. Select temperature by pressing “HI,” “MED,” or “LO.” The cycle will start and the L.C.D. will display the
Dry Cycle selected and the remaining time.
4. The dryer will continue through the drying and cooling cycles, until the vended time has expired.
NOTE: To stop dryer, open main door or pressing the pause key. Continuation of the cycle will
resume only after the door has been closed and any of the three (3) temperature selection is
pressed.
5. Upon completion of drying and cooling cycles, the tone (buzzer) will sound and the dryer will go into the
Anti-Wrinkle mode for 99 minutes, or until the main door has been opened.
IMPORTANT: For more detailed information regarding the microprocessor controller (computer) on
your dryer, refer to the microprocessor user’s manual included with the dryer.
26
K. SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
If the dryer is to be shutdown (taken out of service) for a period of time, the following must be performed:
1. Discontinue power to the dryer either at the external disconnect switch or the circuit breaker.
2. Discontinue the heat supply:
Discontinue the gas supply.
a. SHUT OFF external gas supply shutoff valve.
b. SHUT OFF internal gas supply shutoff valve located in the gas valve burner area.

SECTIONVI
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 HIGHLYCOMBUSTIBLE. THE
ACCUMULATION OFLINT CAN CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: KEEPDRYERAREACLEARAND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE,AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS OR
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 build up.
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 behind the lint door in the base of the dryer. Open the lint door, brush 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: TOAVOID THE HAZARD OFELECTRICALSHOCK, DISCONTINUE
ELECTRICALSUPPLYTOTHE DRYER.
30
90 DAYS
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system from dryer’s internal
exhaust ducting.
WARNING: THEACCUMULATION OFLINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN
CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR.
WARNING: INSPECT AND REMOVEANY LINTACCUMULATION, 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 cabinets, avoid using harsh abrasives. Aproduct 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 or 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 the manufacturer by ordering kit
P/N 882159 (which includes two [2] fittings).
31
SECTIONVII
DATALABELINFORMATION
When contacting the Maytag dealer, certain information is required to insure proper service/parts information.
This information is on the data label, which is located on the upper left side panel area behind the top control
(access) door. When contacting the Maytag Co., please have the model number and serial number available.
32
THE DATA LABEL
1. MODEL NUMBER
The model number is an Maytag Co. number, which describes the size of the dryer
and the type of heat (gas, electric, or steam).
2. SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number allows Maytag to gather information on your particular dryer.
3. MANUFACTURING CODE NUMBER
The manufacturing code number is a number issued by Maytag, which describes
ALL possible options on your particular model.
4. TYPE OF HEAT
This describes the type of heat for your particular dryer: gas (either natural gas or
liquid propane [L.P.] gas), electric, or steam.
5. HEAT INPUT (for GAS DRYERS)

33
SECTIONVIII
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 temperature selection keys (HI, MED, or LO).
c. Verify that the applicable indicator lights on the microprocessor controller (computer) board are lit.
(Refer to the illustration below.)
34
2. For Models with Johnson Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Controller (G760)
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 “LOCK OUT” 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 “LOCK OUT” (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 Fenwal Controls DSI Module (128937)
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 “LOCK OUT” 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 “LOCK OUT” (a red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator will
flash).
An unlit red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates normal operation.

35
SECTION IX
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.
