The Maytag® MGD5605RU gas dryer is designed for busy, pet‑friendly households that want powerful drying performance with less hassle. With a generous 7.0 cu. ft. IEC (Canada) capacity, it easily handles large family loads, from bulky bedding to big batches of towels, all while fitting a standard 29" width for straightforward installation in most laundry spaces. At the heart of this model is the innovative Pet Pro™ Option, a standout feature that sets it apart from many conventional dryers. When activated, this specialized cycle uses reduced heat, extended tumbling time and built‑in moisture sensors to help lift and capture pet hair from fabrics, directing it into a specially designed lint trap so clothes come out noticeably cleaner and with far less embedded fur. Complementing this is the Extra Power option, which boosts drying performance on any cycle to help get thick fabrics, seams and pockets drier the first time, reducing the need to re‑run loads and saving both time and energy. To protect your garments from over‑drying, Advanced Moisture Sensing uses multiple sensors to monitor moisture levels and air temperature inside the drum, automatically stopping the cycle when items are evenly dry, which helps maintain fabric quality and prevents shrinking. For everyday convenience and a polished finish, this dryer is also steam‑enhanced, offering a Steam Refresh cycle and Wrinkle Prevent options that use the power of steam and intermittent tumbling to help relax wrinkles, reduce static and freshen items that have sat in the drum or closet. The result is less time spent ironing and more outfits ready to wear straight from the dryer. Thoughtful touches like an end‑of‑cycle signal, reversible side‑swing door and intuitive rear console controls make operation simple, while the durable drum and a 10‑year limited parts warranty on the drive motor and drum underscore Maytag® reliability. Finished in striking Volcano Black, the MGD5605RU not only tackles pet hair and heavy loads with confidence, it also adds a modern, premium look to your laundry room, making it an excellent upgrade over standard gas dryers that lack dedicated pet‑care and steam features.

 Maytag® Pet Pro dryer – specialized design that traps and removes large amounts of pet hair from clothes for visibly cleaner results.

 Pet Pro Option – uses reduced heat, extended tumble time and targeted water sprays to lift and capture pet hair in the lint trap instead of leaving it on fabrics.

 Extra Power option – boosts drying performance on any cycle to get thick fabrics, seams and pockets drier the first time, reducing the need to re-run loads.

 Advanced Moisture Sensing – uses multiple sensors to monitor moisture and air temperature, automatically stopping the cycle to help prevent over‑drying or under‑drying.

 Steam Refresh cycle – quickly revives lightly worn or wrinkled items with steam so they’re ready to wear without rewashing.

 Wrinkle Prevent option – intermittently tumbles clothes for up to 150 minutes after the cycle ends to help keep wrinkles from setting in if you can’t unload right away.

 Quick Dry cycle – dries small loads fast so essentials are ready sooner, especially when paired with a matching quick wash cycle on the washer.

 Dedicated pet‑hair lint trap – enhanced lint filter is built to capture and hold large amounts of pet hair, making it easier to clean out and reducing hair on clothing.

 Multiple dryness levels – lets you choose how dry you want your load, from damp‑dry for ironing to fully dry for immediate wear or storage.

 10 preset drying cycles – includes Normal, Delicates, Casuals, Bulky Items, timed‑dry selections and specialty cycles to handle a wide range of fabrics and load types.

 Automatic temperature control – regulates air temperature throughout the cycle to help protect fabrics from overheating and shrinking.

 Interior drum light – illuminates the drum so you can easily see and retrieve small items like socks or baby clothes.

 Powder‑coat drum finish – durable interior surface resists chipping and snagging to help protect fabrics and extend drum life.

 Top‑load matching design – styling and controls are designed to pair with Maytag top‑load washers for a coordinated laundry set.

 Rear control panel with knob controls – simple, intuitive dials and indicators on the backguard make cycle selection straightforward and easy to read.

 Status indicator lights – feedback lights (such as Sensing, Wet, Damp, Cool, Done, Wrinkle Prevent) show where the load is in the cycle at a glance.

 Reversible side‑swing door – door hinge can be reversed to open from either side, improving access in different laundry room layouts.

 Top‑mounted lint screen – conveniently located filter is easy to reach and clean between loads to maintain airflow and drying performance.

 Rear vented exhaust – standard rear venting supports typical home installations and effective removal of moist air.

 LP convertible – can be converted from natural gas to liquid propane with an optional kit for flexible installation in homes using LP gas.

 Standard 29\" width cabinet – fits most existing laundry spaces and side‑by‑side installations without special modifications.
