Maytag Dryers

Maytag dryers can be broken down into two major categories: Maytag gas dryers and Maytag electric dryers. When it comes to gas vs. electric dryers, Maytag gas dryers use electricity to spin the drum and gas to create heat while Maytag electric dryers use electricity for both tasks. The Maytag dryer you’ll need is determined by the hookups available in your laundry room—although some customers with renewable energy sources, like solar panels, are converting their laundry hookups from gas to electric.

When choosing the right Maytag dryer for your space, remember to consider where the exhaust vent is located as you will have to run a vent hose from there. For convenience, you will also want to consider which way the dryer door opens. Many Maytag models are either hamper door dryers or reversible door hinge dryers that allow you to set up the door in either direction.

In terms of capacity, you should pair the capacity of your new dryer with the capacity of your Maytag washer. To save space, you might want a stackable dryer or Maytag stackable washer/dryer set. This way, you can optimize both your laundry load size and available floor space without sacrificing performance.

Maytag electric dryers require a dedicated 240-volt electrical circuit. Meanwhile, a Maytag gas dryer requires a 120-volt electrical circuit as well as a separate gas hookup and a dryer gas line. When measuring dimensions, allow space for hookups and for the dryer vent kit. Remember to level your machine when installing it, allowing plenty of space for opening the door and leaving a few inches on each side of the dryer for air circulation. If stacking your washing and drying appliances, look at how to stack a washer and dryer for additional tips.

To make your life easy, you can always contact appliance delivery, installation and repair services. Additionally, the appliance repair team can help you with any issues you may have with your current or future appliance. You’ll also have an optional haul-away service for your old dryer.

You will be glad to know that appliances from Maytag come with customer-friendly warranties. If you love your new Maytag dryer, consider choosing Maytag for your next new appliance as well. You could enjoy the many benefits of a Maytag dishwasher, Maytag microwave or Maytag refrigerator.
