Maytag MDE17PRAYW Installation Instruction

The console houses the electronic control board. The board is 

factory set for a dry time of 45 minutes. Consult the tech sheet 

found inside the dryer toe panel to reset dry time and for other 

options.
The card reading mechanism is not included, but is available 

from your usual industry sources.

1.  Prepare dryer for leveling legs
NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving 

to avoid damaging floor covering. 

Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation 

location. 
Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove  

the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with a 

damp cloth to remove any dust. 
Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place 

them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of 

the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners. 

Disconnect power before making electrical connections.

2.  Screw in leveling legs 
Examine leveling legs and find diamond  

marking. Screw legs into leg holes by  

hand. Use an adjustable wrench or  

1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench  

to finish turning legs until diamond  

marking is no longer visible. Then fit  

a covered foot boot over each leg foot.
To avoid damage to the floor, use a large piece of cardboard 

from the dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide 

the dryer until it is close to its final location. Leave enough 

room for electrical connection and to connect the exhaust 

vent.
