Which Maytag dryers
Two Maytag pages cover it: one for the standard dryer and one for the commercial dryer. The generation is not stated for either, and the reset time differs between them.
Reset steps for the standard dryer
- Turn off the circuit breaker(s) for one minute.
- Turn the breaker(s) back on.
- Start a time dry cycle.
- Watch the dryer for one minute to see if the code returns.
Reset steps for the commercial dryer
The routine is the same, but the breaker stays off for 5 minutes and you monitor the dryer for 5 minutes afterwards.
Neighbouring codes
Check F6 E2 (UI cannot hear ACU) and F6 E3 (ACU cannot hear UI) if a different communication message shows.
