TEST EQUIPMENT

The equipment required to service Maytag products
depends largely upon the condition you encounter.
Locating a malfunction will often require the use of
electrical testing equipment such as:
Digital Test Meter
can be used to check for open or closed circuits,
measure resistance, AC and DC volts, and
temperature.
Air Test Meter
can be used to check back pressure in the
exhaust duct. Vent restriction can cause
back pressure and disrupt normal
operations of the dryer.

or closed circuits, measure
resistance, AC and DC volts,
and temperature.
