Error codeF2 E4

What Maytag connects to F2 E4
The display is tied to the user interface and to the wiring running to it. The same code written without a space, F2E4, is listed in the Maytag service data sheet as a UI software error: an incompatible parameter file.
Trying to start the dryer
Touch POWER.
Select a cycle.
Press and keep holding START/PAUSE.
If nothing starts, unplug the dryer.
Afterwards
An unplugged dryer should wait for a technician rather than be reconnected and tried again.

F2 E5: user interface or wiring, with a 5-minute breaker reset.
F2 E1: a user interface button stuck for over 20 seconds.
For a dryer that still shows F2 E4, phone (415) 649-2156 to book Maytag dryer repair in San Francisco or elsewhere around the Bay. Say which code appears, give the model number and describe how the start-up attempt went.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F2 E4 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
F2 E4 indicates a possible issue with the user interface or its wiring.
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.
