DRYER DIAGNOSTIC MODE

This mode is entered by depressing DELICATES for one
second while in any of the set-up codes one through six
(or while dAS displays if operating with Maytag Data
Acquisition setup) or with a diagnostic code present.
Diagnostic codes are cleared on entry and all display
segments should flash. If a diagnostic code persists, it
must be corrected before the diagnostic cycle may be
executed.
All Single Load Models:
With all segments flashing, the diagnostic cycle is started
by depressing the PERMANENT PRESS key pad. The
cycle consists of seven minutes of heat and 1 minute of
cooldown. The WHITES & COLORS key pad will
increment the diagnostic cycle minutes up to 99, then roll
over to 2 minutes. The DELICATES key pad will cancel
this cycle and exit the diagnostic mode.

Dryer Help Mode

The Help Mode is entered by pressing the Whites & Colors keypad while in special pricing option, step 2.XX (or while
dAS displays if operating with Maytag Data Acquisition set up). In help mode, the software revision is displayed in the
digits. Press the Whites & Colors key at anytime to exit help mode.
