General User Information - Maytag MFR Series Service Manual

The information contained in this manual
pertains to the service procedures involved
in maintaining and servicing Maytag MFR18
through MFR80 PDC and PNC commercial
washer models built starting in the third
quarter of 2005 through 2010.
Specifications and installation requirements
are included in this manual as a guide
to assist in proper performance and for
servicing the products. As with all models, the
importance of proper installation can not be
over emphasized. For additional information,
refer to the installation and programming
instructions that accompany each washer.
The MFR PDC models were introduced
in 2005 as an update to the MFR line of
commercial washers first introduced in 1996.
This line is the third iteration of the front
loading rigid mount multiload washer line
intended for coin operated commercial laundry
usage.
The MFRxxPNC line offers similar models
intended for non-coin on premise laundry
purposes.
Currently the washers are offered in capacities
ranging from 18 pounds to 80 pounds of
regular water-washable laundry (clothing and
linens).
All MFRxxPNC models use microprocessor
controls for maximum versatility in
programming and service diagnosis.
All models use variable frequency drive motor
controls for optimum wash and extraction
speed settings.

The US model number indicates the Brand,
drive type, mounting method, capacity, and
control type.
M = Maytag product.
F = Front loading washer
R = Commercial Rigid mount washer
MFR washers have a rigid frame and depend
on a proper installation on a solid foundation
to absorb and dissipate out-of-balance
stresses and vibration.
The capacity designation follows next in the
model number layout to indicate capacity
in pounds for the maximum load size in dry
weight (before washing).
18 = eighteen (18) pounds capacity
25 = twenty five (25) pounds capacity
30 = thirty (30) pounds capacity
40 = forty (40) pounds capacity
50 = fifty (50) pounds capacity
60 = sixty (60) pounds capacity
80 = eighty (80) pounds capacity
Next is the type of controls used. All will begin
with the letter "P" to indicate microprocessor
based controls.
MFRxxPDC indicates a microprocessor
control with a coin drop money acceptor. The
"D" indicates coin drop equipped. The "C"
indicates the model change (A, B, D, C) since
introduction. The coin drops supplied will
either be from Munzprufer or from Greenwald
Industries. The standard drop is for a single
US or Canadian Quarter (the Canadian drop
will have to have the anti-cheat magnet
removed). Accessory drops that accept more
than the quarter are available as after-market
assemblies.
