What this code means
F6 E2
Communication error: UI cannot hear ACU.
Meaning
UI cannot hear ACU. That is how F6 E2 is described for the Maytag dryer, and it counts as a communication error.
The reset, as Maytag lays it out
Power the unit down at the circuit breaker(s) for 5 minutes. After that, power it up at the breaker(s) and start a time dry cycle. Monitor the dryer for 5 minutes; the goal is that the error code does not display again.

A code that returns after the reset needs a technician.
