What this code means
F1 E1
Motor relay stuck on (ACU problem) on the dryer; the commercial dryer page gives no cause.
Short answer
Cut the power at the breaker, wait, restore it and see whether F1 E1 stays away. That is all the Maytag help page asks of the owner.
Two entries for F1 E1
- Dryer: motor relay stuck on, an ACU problem.
- Commercial dryer: the code is listed with reset and service steps only, with no cause stated.
