Maytag Dryer Features Technicians Work On
What a Maytag Dryer Technician Deals With
Many Maytag dryers sense restricted exhaust airflow and display AF or F4E3 while continuing to run. Source: Maytag Product Help - Error Codes in Dryers
Air Only and Air/Fluff cycles never add heat, so a no-heat complaint should start with a five-minute heated timed test. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
What Maytag Says to Check First
- 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
- Dryer takes too long to dry. Clean the lint screen, check that the vent is metal, short and not crushed, and make sure the outside hood flap opens freely. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is not Drying or Experiencing Long Dry Times
