How to Connect Dryer to WiFi and Mobile App

Why should I connect my appliance?

The appliance that you take home today might be different a year from now. Connecting your appliance and keeping it connected will allow the appliance to evolve with new downloadable cycles, options, and functionality. Maytag connected features are purposefully designed to fit the unique ways you care for your family.

Stay in control and care from anywhere when you connect your Maytag Smart Appliances with the Maytag Mobile App. From your mobile device, you can preheat your oven for dinner, download the right cycle for a load of dishes, or check on the water filter status in your refrigerator.

Instructions to connect your dryer to WiFi:

Ensure your mobile device is connected to your wireless network. Connect your phone to a Network SSID that supports the 2.4 GHz band (5 GHz is not supported). If unsure, consult your router’s support documentation to find out how to identify the correct SSID.
