F1E3 on a Maytag dryer: the installed controller does not match the model.
What this code means
F1E3
Incorrect controller installed (electric models only); ACU or UI part number does not match model.
F1E3 on a Maytag dryer means an incorrect controller is installed. It applies to electric models only.
Why it appears
The ACU or UI part number does not match the dryer model, so the dryer rejects it. The Maytag service data sheet lists this as a controller mismatch.
What you can do
The sheet gives no owner steps. Since the mismatch is in the installed part, correcting it is a technician job.
Related codes: F1 E3 (control unit or wiring) is a differently written code, F1E1 is an ACU fault, and F1E5 is a parameter memory fault.
