Error codeF2E5
ApplianceDryer
Invalid parameter memory in the user interface
Maytag’s service data sheet lists F2E5 as a user interface software error in which the parameter memory is invalid. The Maytag help page says more generally that the user interface or its wiring may be involved.
The reset Maytag suggests
Switch the dryer’s breaker off for 5 minutes.
Switch it back on.
Start a time dry cycle.
Stay with the dryer for 5 minutes to confirm F2E5 does not come back.
If it does return, the repair belongs to a technician.
Where to look next
F2E4: the other software error, with an incompatible parameter file
F2E3: user interface and ACU parameters out of step
When F2E5 keeps returning after the breaker reset, call (415) 649-2156 and we will set up a visit in San Francisco or nearby. Have the model number and the outcome of the 5-minute watch ready. See Maytag dryer repair for how this service works.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F2E5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
