The Maytag appliancetest meter is most effective
when used to detect open or closedcircuitsin an
electricalcomponent.This method of testing is
"continuity
often referredto as
testing" and is the
easiestmeansof checkinga part.
A continuitycheckcan be safelymadeonly afterthe
unit beingcheckedhas been disconnectedfrom its
electricalsupplyand after you have removedwires
from the terminalsof the part beingtested.Following manualactivationof the part (if required)and
after the meterhas beenset on an ohms scale,the
probes of the test meter are placed on the respec"O"
tive terminals.Needlemovementto the
end of
the scalewouldindicatecontinuitythroughthe part.
No needlemovementwould indicateno continuity
and a probableinoperativepart.
In general,when checking for continuity,needle
deflectionindicatesa closedcircuitand no needle
deflectionwould indicatean open circuit.

CHECKS
VOLTAGE
For the most part thesecheckswillconsistof taking
readingsat the wall receptaclein orderto determine
the availabilityof voltage to the product.Voltage
checks on individualcomponentsof a productare
due to the possibilityof electrical
not recommended
shock. Componentpart testing is best accomplishedthrough continuitychecks with a 38559
Maytag appliancetest meter.
NOTE: Use of the meter on voltage higher than
indicatedrange may cause permanentdamageto
the meter.To preventdamagefirst select highest
rangeand then lower for readingswhich fall within
the lower scale.

lf the operatoris dryinga poorlymixed load; bulky
items such as cotton socks along with lightweight
flat items it would be desirableto move the dial to

As in the othercontrolsystems,the sole purposeof
the electroniccontrolis to shut the dryer off at the
end of the dryingcycle.The electroniccontrolsystem reacts to moisturein the clothesto keep the
dryer runninguntil the clothesare dry.
CIRCUIT
SENSOR
A sensorcircuitis connectedacrossthe capacitor

bars,providea dischargepath for the accumulating
charge. As long as the clothes are not dry, the
chargein the capacitorcannotbuildto any significant level.

this lampto be an open circuitwhen it is not lighted

On the timedry setting,afterthe first few minutesof
operation,the electroniccontrolcircuitis bypassed
by timercontacts4 and 3. Poweris suppliedto the
timer motor and the timer will advance.
When the selectedtime has expired,the electronic
controlis broughtback into the circuitwhencontact
4 opens and contact 5 closes.A rapid charaging
process begins. Shortly thereafterthe electronic
control will energizethe shut off solenoid.lf the
exhaust temperatureis above 120 "F., the cool
down thermostatwill continueto providepower to
the drivemotor.Whenthe temperaturedrops below
120 'F., the dryerwill stop.
Separatingthe two areasby pullingthe wires apart
at the coupler will show where the problem is
located. lf the dryer will shut off in less than 20
minuteswithoutthe sensorcircuithookedup, then
the sensormust be keepingthe dryerfrom shutting

RIGIDDUCTWORK
LIMITATIONS
Rigid metal ductwork should not exceed 50' of

than three90 degreeelbowsshouldbe used in any
rigidductworkrun with an exhausthood. Four feet
of straight duct should be allowed between 90
degreeelbows.
GUIDEFOR PROPER
EXHAUSTING
1 . Keep the duct as short as possible.The longer
the duct the more frictionand resistanceto air
flow.
2 . Keep the numberof elbows and the degreeof
bend to a minimumto minimizeair resistance
due to dynamics.We recommendthat not over 3
elbows be installedin the duct.
3 . The smootherthe insidesurfaceof the duct, the
lessthe frictionand the greaterthe air flow. lt is
b e c a u s eo f t h i s t h a t w e r e c o m m e n du s i n g
s m o o t h r i g i d a l u m i n u md u c t w o r k . F l e x i b l e
ductworkhas a spiralwashboardsurfacewhich
increasesfriction and sets up dynamic turbulencewhich decreasesair flow.
4 . Never reducethe area of the duct. A 4" round
duct has an area of approximately12.57square
inches.The area of the duct should never be
reducedbelow this figure.
5 . Dryersshouldbe exhaustedto the outsideof the
building.
6 . Do not exhaustdryerinto any wall,ceiling,crawl
space,a concealedspaceof a buliding,vent connection,gas vent or chimney.A lintaccumulation
in such an area createsa fire hazard.
7. When locatedin a bedroom,bathroomor closet,
the dryer must be exhaustedto the outsideof
the dwelling.
8. Do not installvent hood at ground level.There
shoufdbe a 12" (30.5cm)clearancebetweenthe
bottom of the exhausthood and the ground.
9. All exhaustduct joints should be taped to prevent lint and moisture laden air from being
expelledinto the building.
10. The exhaust duct and vent hood should be
and cleanedas necessary
checkedperiodically
to preventa lint build-up.
