What 0E, 0g, 3E, 6E, E1, E2 or E3 Means
Maytag publishes this group of short displays with an identical answer: power the dryer down at the breaker, power it back up, start a timed dry cycle, and watch for a minute. No cause is stated for any of them. Rather than inventing a different decode for each, they are grouped here as what they are - control faults for which Maytag documents only a reset.
Common Causes of 0E, 0g, 3E, 6E, E1, E2 or E3
- Transient control fault cleared by a power reset
- Loose harness connector inside the console
- Supply voltage disturbance
- Control board failing
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Switch the dryer off at its breaker for a full minute, then switch it back on, start a timed dry cycle and watch the display for the first minute. If the code does not return, the fault was transient and the dryer can be used normally. If it does return, note which of the codes appeared and whether the drum turned and the heater came on before it showed. Nothing behind the console is owner-serviceable, so the next step is a diagnosis.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- The control and its wiring sit behind the console with live mains terminals in the same space.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
