What this code means
F4 E1
F4 E1 (Heater System): there may be a problem with the heater or heater relays.
F4 E1 stands for Heater System. Maytag says there may be a problem with the heater or the heater relays. It applies to household dryers and to commercial dryers.
Power reset from Maytag
Shut the dryer’s breaker(s) off for 1 minute, restore power, and run a time dry cycle. Keep watching for 1 minute; the aim is a display that stays clear.
The heater and relays are not an owner repair. If F4 E1 returns after the reset, schedule service.
