What this code means
E3
Maytag lists this code but states no cause, only reset steps.
Maytag has no cause on file for E3; its dryer and commercial dryer pages share one routine: turn the breaker(s) off for 5 minutes, turn them on, start a time dry cycle, and monitor the dryer for one minute to ensure the code does not reappear.
If E3 shows up once more, the next step is service.
Compare with these codes
- E2: the neighbouring E code with the same steps
- E1: same breaker reset
- F# E#: an F and E display that needs service
