Maytag Dryer F7 E1 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F7 E1
Appliance Dryer

Maytag titles F7 E1 as a motor system fault. The motor, the control and the wiring that links them are all possible sources.

One reset to try

  1. Switch off the dryer’s circuit breaker(s) for one minute.
  2. Switch the breaker(s) on.
  3. Run a time dry cycle.
  4. Spend one minute watching to confirm F7 E1 does not reappear.

If the message comes back

A repeat after the reset is the point to ask for a technician visit, who can check the motor, the control and the wiring.
