What this code means
F4 E4
F4 E4 (Low or No Line Voltage): possible home power supply problem.
F4 E4 in short
- Reads as: Low or No Line Voltage
- Likely area: the home power supply, so the heater cannot come on
- Clearing it: touch any pad
- Listed for: household and commercial Maytag dryers
Work through these
- Breakers: the dryer takes a separate 30-amp circuit fused on both sides, meaning 2 breakers. One feeds the motor, the other the heating element, and with either tripped the dryer may run cold. Reset the breaker or replace the fuse.
- Supply voltage: electric dryers run on 240 volts. If you lack that, ask a qualified electrician.
- Cord: confirm it is installed correctly, per the installation instructions and the 3-wire and 4-wire videos. Unplug the dryer, then tighten terminal screws if loose.
- Restart: choose a Timed Dry heated cycle.
The household-dryer page also gives a power cycle: breakers off for 5 minutes, back on, start a time dry cycle and watch it for 5 minutes. A persistent message means a qualified electrician should be consulted.
