F4 E1Maytag Dryer — Maytag Dryer F4 E1 Error Code
Heating system fault — no voltage detected at heating element or heater circuit
F4 E1 indicates the control board has detected that the heating circuit is not receiving or passing voltage as expected. This is a broader heating system fault than a simple thermistor error — it can be caused by a blown thermal fuse cutting power to the element, a failed heating element (open circuit), failed heat relay on the control board, or a wiring fault in the heating circuit. On electric models, if one leg of the 240V supply is missing (common when one breaker pole trips), the dryer will tumble but produce no heat and may display F4 E1.
First check the circuit breaker — electric dryers use a double-pole 30A breaker, and if only one pole tripped, the dryer motor may still run while there is no heat. Reset both breaker poles firmly. Then test the thermal fuse (WP3392519) for continuity — it is the most common cause of no heat alongside F4 E1. If the fuse tests blown, replace it and clean the exhaust vent before running again. If the fuse is good, test the heating element (WP35001247) for continuity. Also inspect the high-limit thermostat on the heater housing.
