Maytag Dryer
Error Codes

AF Restricted airflow High A load that normally dries in 45 minutes takes 90 minutes or more and still exits warm and damp, because moisture cannot escape through the blocked vent. View -> BE Drive belt broken High The motor hum is audible and the motor is running, but the drum remains stationary — the classic symptom of a broken drive belt on Maytag Bravos models. View -> DE Door opened mid-cycle Low dE appears and the drum stops tumbling when the door is opened mid-cycle. This is expected behavior — the dryer is protecting against items or hands inside the drum during operation. View -> E1 Thermistor shorted High The control board disables the heating element in response to the shorted thermistor signal, which it interprets as an already dangerously high temperature. View -> E3 Exhaust over-temperature High The cycle stops unexpectedly and the dryer exterior is hot to the touch. E3 indicates the exhaust temperature reached the board's over-temperature threshold during operation. View -> F01 Main electronic control fault High Pressing Start produces no cycle — the display may cycle through a startup routine and return to the fault. View -> F02 Stuck keypad button Medium One or more buttons do not respond normally — the dryer will not accept a cycle selection or start command. View -> F03 Thermistor fault High The drum rotates normally but no heat is produced — the control has disabled the heating circuit as a safety measure. View -> F26 Door switch fault Medium Pressing Start produces no cycle initiation — the control board is not receiving a valid closed-door signal. View -> F27 Moisture sensor fault Medium Loads that should exit the dryer damp-dry come out bone dry, or conversely remain damp, because the moisture sensor is feeding incorrect data to the control board. View -> F28 Control board comm failure High Button presses do not initiate any cycle — the communication link between the UI and main control boards is broken. View -> F30 Drum or motor jam High A foreign object lodged between the drum and cabinet produces loud mechanical noises immediately before the motor stalls. View -> F31 Motor tachometer fault High The motor may attempt to spin then stop, or the cycle simply fails to begin. F31 appears because the board cannot confirm motor rotation within the startup sequence. View -> FE Flame error — gas dryers High The drum rotates and the motor runs normally, but no heat is produced because the gas burner did not ignite or the flame did not sustain through the cycle. View -> HE Heating element fault High Clothes tumble but remain cold or at room temperature. The element is not energizing on any heat setting including High Heat. View -> L2 Low incoming voltage High The motor spins and the drum turns, but no heat is generated. On Maytag electric Bravos models the heater element requires both L1 and L2 legs of 240V supply. View -> PF Power failure during cycle Low The display shows PF as soon as the dryer is powered up again, confirming the cycle was interrupted by a power loss. View ->
