Common Maytag dryer codes

L2
Maytag Dryer Error L2: Low or No Line Voltage on Leg 2
Electric dryers in North America run on a 240-volt circuit made up of two 120-volt legs. L2 means the dryer is not receiving the correct voltage on the second leg (Leg 2). The dryer may run but produces no heat, or may not run at all. This is a power supply issue — either the circuit breaker has partially tripped, a fuse in the panel has blown, or there is a wiring fault in the outlet or supply cable.

PF
Maytag Dryer Error PF: Power Failure
The dryer detected a power interruption during a cycle. PF is an informational display — it tells you the cycle did not complete because power was lost. The dryer is now operational and waiting for you to restart or resume the cycle.

What can vary by model
- Maytag dryers may also show F4E3 or F4 E3 for the same basic airflow problem.
- The vent path is an installation issue as much as an appliance issue, so the full duct route matters, not just the dryer itself.
- Maytag dryer display wording and code formats can vary by series.
- If your model behaves differently, check the owner manual before trying any deeper maintenance step.
