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
What Maytag Says to Check First
- Noisy dryer. For pounding, check that none of the four legs is missing, and for knocking or rattling, clear pockets before drying. Source: Maytag Product Help - Sounds or Noises in a Dryer
- Dryer not heating. Run an empty heated timed cycle to confirm, rule out Air Only, then check both breakers and the 240-volt supply on electric models or the open gas valve on gas models. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
