Maytag Dryer Features Technicians Work On
What a Maytag Dryer Technician Deals With
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
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
What Maytag Dryer Codes Mean

| L2 | Low or no line voltage that can keep the heater off; check both breakers or fuses and the power cord. Source: Maytag Product Help - Error Codes in Dryers |
| 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 |

What Houston Owners Should Know
Gas dryers in Houston are typically served by CenterPoint Energy (Houston Division). If you ever smell gas near the dryer, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside before calling a repair company. Source: Railroad Commission of Texas - Gas Utility Docket No. 10948 (CenterPoint Energy Entex, Houston Division)
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
