DO NOT dry mop heads in the MAYTAG MDG76PC.

DO NOT use the MAYTAG MDG76PC in the presence of dry cleaning fumes.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should the dryer door switches, lint drawer switch, or the heat circuit devices ever be disabled.

The MAYTAG MDG76PC must never be operated without the lint filter/screen in place, even if an external lint collection system is used.

The MAYTAG MDG76PC must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water or weather.

The wiring diagram for the MAYTAG MDG76PC is located in the front electrical control box area.

The MAYTAG MDG76PC must be installed in a location/environment, which the ambient temperature remains between 40° F (4.44° C) and 130° F (54.44° C).

The MAYTAG MDG76PC must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.

The MAYTAG MDG76PC 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. The dryer must be installed on noncombustible floors only.

Bulkheads and partitions should be made of noncombustible materials and must be located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) (18-inches [45.72 cm] or more is recommended for ease of installation, maintenance, and service) above the dryer outer top, except along the front of the dryer which may be partially closed in if desired. The clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the front. The bulkhead facing must not be closed in ALL the way to the top of the dryer. A 1-inch (2.54 cm) clearance is required.

Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance must be made for the 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).

When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 18-inches (45.72 cm) above the dryer console (module) is required. Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall, however, a 1/16” (1.5875 mm) minimum allowance is required between dryers (or wall) for ease of installation and maintenance. Allowances must be made for the opening and closing of the control door and the lint door.

An unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. An airflow of 1,200 cfm (cubic feet per minute) (33.98 cmm [cubic meters per minute]) must be supplied to each gas dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square feet (0.41 square meters) is required for each dryer. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.

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 separate make-up air openings 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.

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.

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-limit thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. It is recommended that exhaust or booster fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork system.

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.

Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).

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.

When single dryer venting is used, the length of the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 15 feet (4.6 meters). The minimum diameter of this ductwork must be at least 10-inches (25.4 cm) (even though the dryer exhaust duct for gas dryers is only 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 (4.6 meters). The shape of the ductwork is not critical so 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.

Minimum ductwork diameter for horizontal venting is 10-inches (25.4 cm).

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. Allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction. DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.

Minimum duct size for a dryer that is vented horizontally is 10-inches (25.4 cm) for a round duct or an equivalent of 80 square inches (516.1 square centimeters). THE DUCT SIZE MUST NOT BE REDUCED ANYWHERE DOWNSTREAM OF THE DRYER.

When single dryer venting is used, the length of the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters). The minimum diameter of this ductwork must be at least 12-inches (30.48 cm). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the distance from the last dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 20 feet (6.1 meters). The shape of the ductwork is not critical so 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.

Minimum ductwork diameter for vertical venting is 12-inches (30.48 cm).

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. Allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction. DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.

Minimum duct size for a dryer that is vented vertically is 12-inches (30.48 cm) for a round duct or an equivalent of 80 square inches (516.1 square centimeters). THE DUCT SIZE MUST NOT BE REDUCED ANYWHERE DOWNSTREAM OF THE DRYER.

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.”

ALL electrical connections made by a properly licensed and competent electrician must assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such codes, ALL electrical connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION.

Each dryer should be connected to an independently protected branch circuit. The dryer must be connected with copper wire only. DO NOT use aluminum wire, which could cause a fire hazard. The copper conductor wire/cable must be of proper ampacity and insulation in accordance with electric codes for making ALL service connections.

A separate circuit servicing each dryer must be provided.

The electrical service specifications (Per Dryer) for the MAYTAG MDG76PC (Gas) are:

Notes:

A. When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current limiting, class RK1 or RK5 ONLY. Calculate/determine correct fuse value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical Codes to listed appliance amp draw data.

B. Circuit breakers are thermal-magnetic (industrial) motor curve type ONLY. For others, calculate/verify correct breaker size according to appliance amp draw rating and type of breaker used.

* AWG Stranded Wire…size wire as per National Electrical Code or local codes.

A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. In the absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. The ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the location service panel.

For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (no. 18 minimum) be connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe. DO NOT ground to a gas pipe or hot water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have metal to metal connection ALL the way to the electrical ground. If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic, rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped out with no. 4 copper wire and securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.

For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer must be grounded.

Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at the electrical service connection area.

The electrical connections on ALL single-phase (1φ) gas model MAYTAG MDG76PC dryers are made into the rear service box located at the upper left area of the dryer.

Actual electrical wire connections are made to the L1 and L2 terminals of the motor contactor located in the rear service box mentioned above. The ground connection is also made to the copper lug also provided in this box.

The connection leads for single-phase (1φ) electrical connection on the MAYTAG MDG76PC are:

If local codes permit, power to the MAYTAG MDG76PC can be made by the use of a flexible U.L. listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired directly to the service breaker panel. In ALL cases, a strain relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.

The gas dryer installation must meet the American National Standard…National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1 M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION, as well as local codes and ordinances and must be done by a qualified professional.

The dryer must be connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer label affixed to the left side panel area behind the top control (access) door. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, DO NOT operate the dryer.

The input ratings shown on the dryer data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 meters), unless elevation requirements of over 2,000 feet (610 meters) were specified at the time the dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment or conversion of dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet (610 meters) is made by changing each burner orifice.

THIS GAS DRYER IS NOT PROVIDED WITH AN INTERNAL GAS SUPPLY SHUTOFF AND AN EXTERNAL GAS SUPPLY SHUTOFF MUST BE PROVIDED.

The technical gas data specifications for the MAYTAG MDG76PC (Gas) are:

TYPE OF GAS: NATURAL

TYPE OF GAS: LIQUID PROPANE

* Measured at gas valve pressure tap when the gas valve is on.

Gas Connections:

Inlet connection: 3/4″ N.P.T.

Inlet supply size: 3/4″ N.P.T. (minimum)

Btu/hr input: 204,000 (51,408 kcal/hr)

Regulation is controlled by the dryer’s gas valve’s internal regulator. Incoming supply pressure must be consistent between a minimum of 6.0 inches (14.92 mb) and a maximum of 12.0 inches (29.9 mb) water column (W.C.) pressure.

Dryers made for use with L.P. gas have the gas valve’s internal pressure regulator blocked open so that the gas pressure must be regulated upstream of the dryer. The pressure measured at each gas valve pressure tap must be a consistent 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column. There is no regulator or regulation 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.

The orifice size details for the MAYTAG MDG76PC are:

TYPE OF GAS: NATURAL

TYPE OF GAS: LIQUID PROPANE

* Drill Measurement Size (D.M.S.) equivalents are as follows:

Natural Gas: #23 = 0.1540″ (3.9116 mm).

Liquid Propane Gas: #42 = 0.0935″ (2.3749 mm).

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 Btus 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″ N.P.T. 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.

THIS GAS DRYER IS NOT PROVIDED WITH AN INTERNAL GAS SUPPLY SHUTOFF AND AN EXTERNAL GAS SUPPLY SHUTOFF MUST BE PROVIDED.

Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections. It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.050 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.

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.

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

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

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 affixed to the left side panel area behind the top control (access) door.

3. GAS MODELS – check to assure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer data label.

4. GAS MODELS – 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. GAS MODELS – be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.

6. Be sure ALL back panels (guards) and electric box covers have been replaced.

7. Check ALL service doors to assure that they are closed and secured in place.

8. Be sure the lint drawer is securely in place.

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

10. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings for security.

11. Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to insure they are ALL tight.

ALL MAYTAG MDG76PC 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.

a. Open ALL shutoff valves.

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

a. Gas Dryers

1) When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), the burner 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. During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.

2) 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 “LOCKOUT” until it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close the main door and restart the dryer.

3) 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.

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

Natural Gas: 3.5 Inches (8.7 mb) Water Column.

Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas: 10.5 Inches (26.1 mb) Water Column.

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. Sail Switch

4. 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.

5. 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.

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

a. For microprocessor controller (computer) model check programs/selections…

1) Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most commonly used parameter (program) selections. If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming manual, which was shipped with the dryer.

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.

Check to insure that ALL setscrews (i.e., basket [tumbler] drive, idler, etc.) are tight.

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,” “PP,” 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.

5) To stop dryer, open main door. Continuation of the cycle will resume only after the door has been closed and any of the three (3) temperature selection is pressed.

6) 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.

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:

a. GAS MODELS…discontinue the gas supply.

1) SHUT OFF external gas supply shutoff valve.

The lint screen should be cleaned 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 of the lint screen, and remove the lint. Inspect the lint screen and replace if torn.

Clean lint accumulation from the lint chamber, thermostat, and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket) area. TO AVOID HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.

1. Remove lint from around basket (tumbler), drive motors, and surrounding areas.

2. Remove lint from gas valve burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.

3. Clean any lint accumulation in and around both the blower and drive motor casing openings.

Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished exhaust ductwork system and from dryer’s internal exhaust ducting.

DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR. CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPERS IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK. INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.

Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing 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).

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 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 your Maytag dealer by ordering kit Part No. 882159, which includes two (2) fittings.

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

2) Start the drying cycle by pressing any temperature selection keys (HI, LO, PP).

3) Verify that the applicable indicator lights on the microprocessor controller (computer) board are lit.

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.] flashes).

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

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