What Makes Maytag Dryer Repairs Different
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
Reading a Maytag Dryer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| F# E# (alternating) | The control has detected a fault; Maytag suggests cutting power at the breaker for one minute and retrying a timed cycle before calling for service. Source: Maytag Product Help - F# Error Code on Dryer |

What Sun Prairie Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Sun Prairie 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Questions to Ask a Sun Prairie Technician
