Maytag MED7500YW Owner's Manual

The dryer is located in a room with 

temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 

45ºF (7ºC).

The dryer is located in a closet.

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top  

and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires 

a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most 

installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm).  

See “Location Requirements.”

Cycle time is too short

The sensor cycle is ending early.

Change the dryness level setting on Sensor Cycles. Increasing 

or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of 

drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early, 

see also “Cycle Guide – Sensor Dry Cycles.” 

Lint on load

Lint screen is clogged with lint.

The load is too large and heavy  

to dry quickly.
Fabric softener sheets are blocking 

the grille.

The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen. 

Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet. 

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Separate the load to tumble freely.

The load may not be contacting the 

sensor strips on Sensor Cycles.

Level the dryer. See “Level Dryer.” All four dryer  

feet should be in firm contact with the floor.

Clean lint screen before each load.

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website at www.maytag.com/help  

for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.  

Clothes are not drying 

satisfactorily or drying 

times are too long

Lint screen is clogged with lint.

Clean lint screen before each load.

Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under  

the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you  

do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint  

or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. 

See “Venting.”

The exhaust vent or outside 

exhaust hood is clogged with lint, 

restricting air movement.

The exhaust vent is not the correct 

length.

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has  

too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times.  

See “Venting.”

The exhaust vent diameter is not 

the correct size.

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
