Q: QuestionI would like to know the Model:MED5630HW has the steam function? yes or no. I was confused because I look at two different website stores for the same Model:MED5630HW. Best Buy says yes while Home Depot says no.

Asked 5 years ago by HurricaneHarvey.

• A:Answer No. The web site does say this, but there is no water hook up, therefore no steam.

Q: QuestionWhat are the actual Installed dimensions of this item, and do I need to account for any additional space?

Asked 6 years ago by Jen.

• A:Answer Hi Jen, depending on your installation location, but you will generally need about 5" of depth for the venting in addition to the depth of the dryer. For a closet installation, this is very critical. Here is a link to the Installation Instructions for you, see page 5 for the machine dimensions and Location Requirements. Page 6 has the dryer space requirements. Thanks for your interest in Maytag!

Q: QuestionDoes this have “fins” inside the drum? Can’t tell from the pictures. My current LG has them and if I just want to dry a couple items they get hung up on a fin.

Asked 5 years ago by Susan.

• A:Answer hi, yes there are fins that line the drum from the back, to about 1/2 toward the front. They are smaller than my old dryer and taper, so possibly that would not be an issue for you?
