Reading F7E9 on a stack dryer
Maytag’s tech sheet for the export commercial stack dryer gives F7E9 one meaning: an error in the motor sensing of the upper dryer. The sheet says nothing more about it.
How the stack codes pair up
Upper dryer: motor circuit is F7E7, motor sense is F7E9.
Lower dryer: motor circuit is F7E6, motor sense is F7E8.
What to do now
The sheet lists no owner steps. Turn the stack off at its power source and let a technician investigate the upper motor sensing.
