Know Your Maytag Dryer
How Maytag Dryers Are Built
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
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
- 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
- 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

Local Notes for Columbus
Most dryer calls in Columbus come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Nebraska does not license appliance repair technicians at the state level; contractors working on other people's property register with the Department of Labor, and trade licenses such as plumbing are handled by cities and villages. Source: Nebraska Department of Labor: Who Needs to Register
In Nebraska, you can check a license with the Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration (Search Registered Contractors and Subcontractors) or report a problem to the Nebraska Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
