Maytag Dryer F1 E1 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F1 E1
Appliance Dryer

F1 E1 depends on which dryer you have

Maytag lists this code for the standard dryer and for the commercial-grade dryer, with one difference in what is said about it.

DryerWhat Maytag says
Standard dryerMotor relay stuck on, an ACU problem
Commercial dryerReset and service steps only; no cause stated

Owner reset, both versions

  1. Open the breaker panel and switch off whatever feeds the dryer; a full 5 minutes without power is needed.
  2. Flip the breaker(s) on once more.
  3. Pick a timed dry cycle and begin it.
  4. Stay beside the machine for a minute and see if F1 E1 pops up again.

If F1 E1 comes back

Stop using the dryer and arrange a technician visit.

With F1 E1 back after the reset, call (415) 649-2156 to book a technician; Maytag dryer repair gives the overview. Before dialing, write down the code, the model number and the result of the breaker reset.

Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 E1 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

F1 E1 means a stuck-on motor relay (an ACU problem) on the dryer; the commercial dryer entry names no cause.

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.
