What this code means
F4E5
High limit: dryer temperature threshold exceeded, usually from poor airflow.
F4E5 is a high limit code in the Maytag dryer service data sheet. The dryer temperature threshold was exceeded, usually from poor airflow.
Because poor airflow is the usual reason, the vent is a sensible thing to inspect; the F4 E3 page lists vent checks. Stop using the dryer if it feels too hot, and leave the rest to a technician.
