Default Maytag Dryer - Wrinkle Prevent timer
Model Number: MED5820TW0   Brand: Maytag   Age: Less than 1 year   

Hi, I just purchased a Maytag Centennial MED5820TW0 dryer from Sears.

The timer has two "Wrinkle Prevent" cycles on it, a 30-minute cycle, and a 90-minute cycle, which periodically tumble the drum after the Auto-Dry cycle has completed. It also has a 3-position switch on the console for "Wrinkle-Prevent" OFF, 30min, and 90min.

After running through the Auto Dry cycle, the timer motor continues to run into the "Wrinkle Prevent" cycle even if the "wrinkle prevent" switch on the front panel is set to OFF. The timer motor seems to stop after the 30 minute wrinkle prevent if the 3-position switch is set to OFF or 30 Min.

Is this normal behavior? Or do I need to call the service tech?
