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
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 won't start. Hold Start for two to five seconds, make sure the door is latched and Controls Locked is off, and check the breakers or fuses. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer Not Starting or No Operation
- 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
Maytag Dryer Error Codes
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| AF / F4E3 | Restricted airflow from a clogged lint screen or a blocked, crushed or overly bent vent. Source: Maytag Product Help - Error Codes in Dryers |
