How Maytag Dryers Are Built
Maytag says many dryers work best with a total equivalent vent length under 35 feet of rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, with each 90-degree elbow adding resistance. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is not Drying or Experiencing Long Dry Times

- Dryer not heating. Run an empty heated timed cycle to confirm, rule out Air Only, then check both breakers and the 240-volt supply on electric models or the open gas valve on gas models. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
