Coin-op dryer: changing the length of the cycle

I have a coin-operated dryer, and I'd like to increase the amount of drying time. How can I do it?
I had heard that there are some discs that can be replaced inside the coin-op mechanism to change the length of the cycle.

That is correct, there a re multiple "cams"/discs that will increase/decrease times, they should be inside the lock box atop the machine, they come with the unit when delivered and that s the likely storage spot for them

How can I adjust the run time per $1 on my maytag coin operated dryer. I would like it to run about 15 minutes per $1. Now is runs about 45 minutes on one $1.

Download this manual:

http://www.fowlercompanies.com/servicemanuals%5CMDG16SERVICE.PDF

The mechanism adjustments start on page 20. Note that the maximum number of slider cycles is 3. If you have a PD coin drop model the Max you can get is $0.75 per load I would have to assume that a different coin op mechanism may have to be used or one that will accept 2 coins per cycle for 2 cycles. On non PD models you can adjust the slots for as many as 4 coins per glide / slider cycle.

Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Change the number of coins to operate

you need to take the coin slot apart take pictures as you go to put back together the parts to change amount are hidden inside it in hidden compartment if they wheren't removed by some one. your machine didn't come with the coin mech so if you don't have the parts you will need to take it with you to the parts house to get right parts. open the top of the coin mech box there are 2 long rod screws holding it in place usually 5/16 inch wrench fits may need to wiggle the heck out of it to get it out

Maytag coin op dryer timer programming for mde-16cs

The maximum run time on this machine's timer is 54 min. There is an adjustable peg on the white plastic index wheel which you can adjust anywhere from 30 to 54 min. For example peg in position E is 30min, D is 36min, C is 42min, B is 48min or for 54 min you have to remove the adjustable peg completely, but don't lose it in case you want to change the time in the future. If it is already in the Max "A" position and shuting off early you might have to change your torsion return spring. Hope this helps
