What this code means
3E
Maytag lists this code but states no cause, only reset steps.
If a Maytag dryer shows 3E, the dryer and commercial dryer pages offer the same solution and no explanation of the cause. Here is the order:
- Switch the circuit breaker(s) off for 5 minutes.
- Switch them on.
- Begin a time dry cycle.
- Check on the dryer for one minute to see whether 3E returns.
Maytag says nothing more about 3E than that, so a repeat is a reason to get the dryer looked at.
