F30 on a Maytag commercial dryer means restricted air flow from a clogged lint screen or vent.
What this code means
F30
F30 (Restricted Air Flow): the lint screen or vent is clogged, crushed, kinked or has too many turns.
F30 is the Restricted Air Flow code on a Maytag commercial dryer. It points to a clogged lint screen or vent, and the vent may also be crushed, kinked or have too many turns.
The dryer keeps running while this message is present. Touch any key to clear it from the display and return to the estimated time remaining.
What Maytag tells the owner to try
Begin with a clean lint screen. Then walk the vent from the dryer to the wall for crushing or kinks, and look inside it for lint and debris. The outdoor exhaust hood needs the same inspection. Compare your venting with the recommended length and elbow count for its type, which the Installation Instructions explain. Last, restart on a Timed Dry heated cycle.
If the message persists, have the entire home venting run cleaned by a venting specialist.

F4 E3 is the same restricted air flow message under another code. F31 is a low line voltage code, so it is not about venting.
