Error codeF2E3
ApplianceDryer
Two control boards, two different model IDs
When F2E3 appears on a Maytag dryer, the user interface (UI) and the ACU are holding model ID parameters that disagree. Maytag’s service data sheet attributes this to a replacement that used an incorrect part.
Owner steps
None are listed by the data sheet.
Bringing the parameters back into agreement is technician work, so do not swap control parts again.
Had a board changed lately? Say so when you reach the Bay Area team on (415) 649-2156, together with the model number and the name of the part that went in. The details of our Maytag dryer repair work in San Francisco are on that page.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F2E3 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
The model ID parameters of the user interface and the ACU do not match, following a replacement with an incorrect part.
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.
