Error codeF3E7
ApplianceDryer
Rear moisture sensor strip, open or shorted
Code: F3E7
Component: the rear moisture sensor strip
Condition: open or shorted
Scope: Maytag models only
The entry comes from Maytag’s dryer service data sheet, which describes no owner action. Because of that, the sensible next step is a technician visit.
Phone (415) 649-2156 to book a technician for F3E7 anywhere in San Francisco or the Bay Area. Have the code, the dryer’s model number and anything you tried on hand. Learn more at Maytag dryer repair.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E7 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
