Maytag Dryer Lines and Features
What Makes Maytag Dryer Repairs Different
Many Maytag dryers sense restricted exhaust airflow and display AF or F4E3 while continuing to run. Source: Maytag Product Help - Error Codes in Dryers
Electric Maytag dryers need a 240-volt supply on two 30-amp breakers, one for the motor and one for the heating element, so one tripped breaker can leave the dryer tumbling without heat. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating

- Dryer not tumbling. Confirm the controls have power, hold Start with a dry fingertip, and check that the power cord is installed correctly with tight terminal screws. Source: Maytag Product Help - Not Tumbling or Spinning - Dryer
