What 0E, 0g, 3E, 6E, E1, E2 or E3 means
On Maytag electric and gas dryers with an electronic control, the codes 0E, 0g, 3E, 6E, E1, E2 and E3 come with no stated cause. The only step given for them is a power reset. That tells us the dryer's control is reporting an internal condition that it cannot describe more precisely, and that a restart is the only owner step available. You see one of these codes in the display and the dryer may not run or finish a cycle.
Common causes of 0E, 0g, 3E, 6E, E1, E2 or E3
- Control reporting a condition that a restart may clear
- Power reaching the dryer unevenly
- Connection inside the control area
- Control board, only after the connections test good
1. Turn off the circuit breaker for the dryer and leave it off for 5 minutes. 2. Turn the breaker back on. 3. Start a timed dry cycle. 4. Watch the dryer for one minute to see whether the code comes back. 5. If it does, stop using the dryer and schedule service.
- Because no cause is given, a returning code needs a proper test of the control and its power
- We check the supply, the connections and then the board
- We share what we find in plain words, and nothing is started until you approve the price
Other Dryer codes
Which of these codes is the serious one?
The reset step is identical for all of them and none of them names a cause. We use the exact characters on your display to choose where to begin testing.
Why does the dryer need 5 minutes without power?
The instructions call for it so the control can fully restart. A shorter break may not clear the condition, so give it the full time before switching the breaker back on.
Should I keep using the dryer if the code goes away?
You can, but note the code. If it returns, even occasionally, the control is telling you something, and a visit is better than waiting for a full breakdown.
