4" (102 mm) Heavy, Metal Exhaust Vent

■ Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy, metal exhaust vent and clamps may be used.
■ Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

■ Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent: (Acceptable only if accessible to clean)

■ Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
■ Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
■ Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
■ The total length should not exceed 7ft. (2.4 m).

NOTE: If using an existing vent system, clean lint from entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace plastic or metal foil vents with rigid metal or flexible metal vents. Review "Vent System Chart" and if necessary, modify existing vent system to achieve best drying performance.

For vent systems not covered by the vent specification chart, see your parts distributor.

Provision must be made for enough air for combustion and ventilation. (Check governing codes and ordinances.) See "Recessed Area and Closet Installation Instructions" in the "Location Requirements" sections.

A 4" (102 mm) outlet hood is preferred. However, a 2½" (64 mm) outlet exhaust hood may be used. A 2½" (64 mm) outlet creates greater back pressure than other hood types. For permanent installation, a stationary vent system is required.

Connect Vent

  1. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean.
  2. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in dryer.

  1. Move dryer into final position. Do not crush or kink vent. Make sure dryer is level.

NOTE: Testing for proper ventilation should be done with a Manometer. Minimum: 0.01" (0.2 mm). Maximum: 0.6" (16 mm).

NOTE: Do not remove vent collar.

If an Exhaust Hood Cannot be Used

The outside end of main vent should have a sweep elbow directed downward.

MAYTAG MDE20MNBYW - If an Exhaust Hood Cannot be Used - 1

text_image 12" min. (305 mm)* 24" min. (610 mm) * Minimum clearance above any accumulation of snow, ice, or debris such as leaves

If main vent travels vertically through the roof, rather than through wall, install a 180° sweep elbow on end of vent at least 2 ft. (610 mm) above surface of roof.

The opening in wall or roof shall have a diameter 1/2" (13 mm) larger than vent diameter. Vent should be centered in opening.

Do not install screening over end of vent for best performance.

Multiple Dryer Venting

A main vent can be used for venting a group of dryers. The main vent should be sized to remove 5663 l/min. (200 CFM) of air per dryer. Large-capacity lint screens of proper design may be used in main vent if checked and cleaned frequently. The room where the dryers are located should have make-up air equal to or greater than CFM of all the dryers in the room.

Back-draft dampers are available from your distributor and should be installed in the vent of each dryer to keep exhausted air from returning into dryers and to keep exhaust in balance within main vent. Unobstructed return air openings are required.

Although usually each single-load dryer should have an unobstructed outdoor air opening of 24 in. ^2 (154 cm ^2 ) (based on 1 in. ^2 [6.5 cm ^2 ] per 1,000 Btu [252 kcal]), common make-up air openings are also acceptable. Set up common openings so the make-up air is distributed equally to all of the dryers. Keep in mind that the coverage area must be increased by 33% to account for the use of registers or louvers over the openings. Also, make-up air openings should not be installed near the location where exhaust vents exit the building.

Each vent should enter the main vent at an angle pointing in the direction of the airflow. Vents entering from the opposite side should be staggered to reduce the exhausted air from interfering with the other vents.

MAYTAG MDE20MNBYW - Multiple Dryer Venting - 1

text_image Air Flow 30° max.

The maximum angle of each vent entering the main vent should be no more than 30^ .

Keep air openings free of dry cleaning fluid fumes. Fumes create acids which, when drawn through the dryer heating units, can damage dryers and items being dried.

A clean-out cover should be located on the main vent for periodic cleaning of the vent system.

NOTE: For more dryer venting information, please refer to Whirlpool document W10100920.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

Make Gas Connection

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

  1. Connect gas supply to dryer. Use a pipe thread compound approved for the type of gas supplied. If flexible metal tubing is used, be certain there are no kinks.
    If necessary for service, open the toe panel. Use a putty knife to press on the toe panel lock located at the center top of the toe panel. Pull downward on the toe panel to open. Toe panel is hinged at the bottom.
  2. Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line and make sure the dryer has its own gas supply opened.
  3. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leaks found.

Type of Gas

This dryer is equipped for use with natural gas. It is design-certified by CSA International for LP (propane and butane) gases with appropriate conversion. No attempt shall be made to convert dryer from gas specified on serial/rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

Gas conversion kit part numbers are listed near gas valve burner base.

Gas Supply Line

Provide a gas supply line of 1/2" (13 mm) rigid (IPS) pipe to dryer location. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON® tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine size and materials used in the system.

MAYTAG MDE20MNBYW - Recommended Method - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a pipe fitting with a handle and flange, connected to a diagonal line (no text or symbols)

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

A 1/8" (3 mm) NPT minimum plugged tapping, accessible for gauge testing, must be installed immediately downstream of the installed shut-off valve to the dryer (as shown above). The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2" psig (352 kg/m²). The expected pressures for the gas supply are listed in inches of water in the table below:

Natural Gas LPGas
Minimum5.2" (132.1 mm) 80" (203.2 mm)
Maximum10.5" (266.7 mm) 13.0" (330.2 mm)

Alternate Method

The gas supply may also be connected using 3/8" (10 mm) approved copper or aluminum tubing. If the total length of the supply line is more than 20 ft. (6.1 m), larger tubing will be required.

If using natural gas, do not use copper tubing. Pipe joint compounds that resist action of type of gas supplied must be used.

Shut-off valve required

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve installed within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of dryer in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. This valve should be located in same room as dryer. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve. In Canada, an individual manual shut-off valve must be installed in accordance with the B149 installation codes CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

Flexible Metal Appliance Connector

It is recommended that a new flexible stainless steel gas line, design-certified by CSA International, be used for connecting the dryer to the gas supply line. (The gas pipe which extends through the lower rear of the dryer is provided with 3/8" [10 mm] male pipe thread.)

IMPORTANT

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Sensitive Electronics

ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD may damage or weaken the electronic control assembly. The new control assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished, but failure may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.

■ Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.

-OR-

Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.

■ Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
■ Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle electronic control assembly by edges only.
■ When repackaging failed electronic control assembly in anti-static bag, observe above instructions.

General User Information

BLANK DISPLAY – This condition indicates the dryer is inoperative. Enter set-up mode to view diagnostic code.

"0 MINUTES" SHOWING IN DISPLAY – This indicates the cycle is complete and the dryer cannot be operated. Coins dropped or debit inputs during this condition will be stored in escrow but cannot be used until normal operation is restored by opening and closing the door. If a door switch has failed, it must be replaced before normal operation can be restored.

COLD START (Initial first use) – Dryer is programmed at the factory as follows:

5 minutes dry time/quarter (coin 1)

\$1.50 dry price (fixed cycle with top off - PD Models)

\$0.00 dry price (fixed cycle - PR Models)

WARM START (after power failure) – A few seconds after power is restored, if a cycle was in progress at the time of the power failure, "RESELECT CYCLE" will flash in the display, indicating a button needs to be pressed to restart dryer.

PRICING – After the door is opened and then closed following the completion of a cycle, the display indicates the cycle price (unless set for free operation). As coins are dropped or debit inputs arrive, the display will change to lead the user through the initiation of a cycle.

There are four (4) types of dryer pricing:

Fixed "Vend" Pricing

A dryer set up for "Fixed Cycle" operation can only accept additional time accumulated by increments equal to the length of a complete dry cycle. A maximum of 99 minutes may be purchased; no additional credit is given for coins dropped with 99 minutes in the display.

Accumulator Pricing

If the price is set to one coin 1, then accumulator pricing is in effect. Cycle time can be purchased one coin at a time (PD models) up to the maximum time of 99 minutes. Stacked PD models will credit all money to a cycle with a single button press while in accumulator pricing.

Fixed Cycle With Top Off Pricing

A dryer set to offer "Top Off" capability will allow time to be added to an existing dry cycle in increments equal to the number of minutes of dry time per quarter (coin 1), up to 99 minutes, regardless of the cost required to start the dryer. No credit is given for coins or debit inputs entered when the control is displaying 99 minutes.

PR Models: In Enhanced Debit Mode, the top off price can be set independently (see VALUE OF COIN 2), and the top off time is calculated according to the following equation:

$$ \frac {\text {top off price}}{\text {full cycle price}} = \frac {\text {top off time}}{\text {full cycle length}} $$

Penny increment offset is not applied to top off purchases.

FREE CYCLES – This is established by setting the cycle price to zero. When this happens, "SELECT CYCLE" will appear rather than a cycle price. Any cycle started as a free cycle will automatically terminate when the door is opened.

DEBIT CARD READY – This dryer is debit card ready. It will accept a variety of debit card systems, but does NOT come with a debit card reader. Refer to the debit card reader manufacturer for proper dryer setup. In models converted to a Generation 1 debit card system, debit pulses represent the equivalent of one coin (coin 1).

Display

After the dryer has been installed and plugged in, the display will show "0 minutes."

Single Load Models

CYCLES

text_image 0 MINUTES

Once the unit has been plugged in and the dryer door opened and closed, the display will show the price. In PR models set for free cycles, the display will flash "SELECT CYCLE" (not shown).

Control Set-up Procedures

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before operating.

The fabric setting buttons along with the digital display are used to set up the dryer controls. The display can contain 4 numbers and/or letters and a decimal point. These are used to indicate the set-up codes and related code values available for use in programming the appliance.

How to Use the Buttons to Program the Controls

  1. The HEAVY DUTY button is used to adjust the values associated with set-up code. Pressing the button will change the value by increments. Rapid adjustment is possible by holding down the button.
  2. The NORMAL button will advance through the set-up codes. Pressing the button will advance to the next available set-up code. Holding down the NORMAL button will automatically advance through the set-up codes at a rate faster than 1 per second.
  3. The DELICATES button is used to select or deselect options.

Start Operating Set-up

■ Single Load PD Models: Insert service door key, turn, and lift to remove service door.
■ Single Load PR Models: Once the debit card reader is installed (according to the reader manufacturer's instructions), the set-up mode can be entered by inserting a manual set-up card (supplied by the reader manufacturer) into the card slot. If manual set-up card is not available, manual set-up mode can be entered by removing connector AA1 on the circuit board.

IMPORTANT: The console must not be opened unless power is first removed from the dryer. To access connector AA1:

→ Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
→ Open console, disconnect plug on AA1, close console.
→ Plug in dryer or reconnect power.

The dryer is now in the set-up mode.

NOTE: This dryer is preset at the factory and does not require any programming. However, if you want to change the settings, follow the "Set-Up Codes" guide below.

■ PD units are pre-set at the factory for fixed cycle price with top off.
■ PR units are pre-set for free cycle operation so they can be run without readers or coins.

Set-Up Codes

■ The NORMAL button will advance you from code to code.
■ The HEAVY DUTY button will change the code value.
■ The DELICATES button will select or deselect options.

PR MODELS: The set-up codes are the same as for the PD models except where noted.

The set-up code is indicated by the one or two left-hand characters. The set-up code value is indicated by the two or three right-hand characters.
