F20 at a glance
Maytag does not say what triggers F20 on the commercial dryer. The one remedy on its help page is a power reset.
How the reset goes
Take the breaker(s) to off and wait five minutes before taking them to on. Select a time dry cycle and start it. Keep an eye on the dryer for one minute; the code should not show up again.
Repeat appearance
If F20 does reappear, the dryer needs a technician.
F2 E2: a keypad or control code on residential dryers.
