What this code means
6E
Maytag lists this code but states no cause, only reset steps.
Seeing 6E? There is no explanation of it on the Maytag page, only a sequence: breaker(s) off for five minutes, breaker(s) on, timed dry cycle, one minute of watching. A code that stays away means the sequence was enough; one that comes back should go to service.
