Maytag Dryer ERR Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code ERR
Appliance Dryer

What ERR is reporting

The dryer shows ERR when its door has not been closed all the way and latched. With the door in that state, the dryer will not run at all.

Latch check

  • A door can appear closed while the latch is still open, so press on it until it engages.
  • On some models there are two latches, one at the top and one at the bottom. Both must be secure before the dryer will run.

Power cycle

  1. Shut the circuit breaker(s) off and leave them that way for 5 minutes.
  2. Switch the breaker(s) back on.
  3. Start a timed dry cycle.
  4. Keep watching for 5 minutes, which is longer than the usual one-minute check, to be sure ERR is gone.

The door is latched and ERR is still lit? Phone (415) 649-2156 for a technician visit; Maytag dryer repair explains what we handle. Tell us your model number and that you checked the latch and reset the breaker.

Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so ERR may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

ERR means the Maytag dryer door is not completely closed and latched, so the dryer will not run.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
