Maytag Dryer Error Codes — Complete List

Maytag dryers built in the last decade share the Whirlpool-family fault language — PF for a power failure mid-cycle, AF for restricted airflow, L2 for a low or missing 240-volt line. These are plain notices more than failures: PF clears with START, AF usually clears with a thorough vent cleaning, and L2 is an electrician's call. Every code below is verified, with the safe checks ranked first.

• PF PF on a Maytag dryer is the power-failure notice: the dryer lost power mid-cycle and stopped. Nothing is broken — clear the code and resume the load.
• AF AF on a Maytag dryer is the airflow warning: the exhaust is restricted, so the dryer runs hot and slow. Cleaning the lint screen and vent run fixes most cases without parts.
• L2 L2 on a Maytag dryer means the 240-volt supply is weak or one leg is missing — the dryer tumbles but never heats. Check the breaker handles, then call an electrician.

Don't see your code?

Maytag shares this electronics platform with Whirlpool and Amana, so the messages and fixes line up across the family — but always confirm against your own model's manual (number on the door frame). If your dryer displays a code that isn't listed here, that manual is the authority.
