Maytag Epic Gas Dryer

This error code below would be indicated when attempting to start a drying cycle, or after activating the diagnostic test mode.

E1 - flashes if the thermistor is open.

The machine control electronics monitors the exhaust temperture using the thermistor, and cycles the heater relay on and off to maintain desired temperature.
Begin with an empty dryer and a clean lint screen.

1. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.
2. Set the following configuration:

Door - must be firmly closed Press CONTROL ON Press CYCLE END SIGNAL (Loud) Press HOLD TO START

3. If after 60 seconds, E1 or E2 flashes in the display and the dryer shuts off, the thermistor or wire harness is either shorted or open.

• Unplug dryer or disconnect power
• Check wire connection at the machine control electronics and thermistor.
• If wire connections are good, remove the two wires from the thermistor and replace the thermistor.
• Plug in dryer or reconnect power

NOTE: All thermistor resistance measurements must be made while dryer is unplugged or disconnected from power.

Thermistor resistance: 10 Celsius ----- 19-22 kOhm
16 C ------------ 15-17 kOhm
21 C ------------- 11.5-13.5 kOhm
27 C ------------- 8.5-10.5 kOhm
32 C ------------- 6.8-8.8 kOhm
38 C ------------- 5-7 kOhm

If E1 or E2 doesn't flash in the display, the connections to the thermistor are good. Therefore, check exhaust temperature value at any or all of the temperature levels.
Hold a glass bulb thermometer capable of reading from 32 to 82 Celsius (90-180 F) in the center of the exhaust outlet.

Table below shows correct exhaust temperatures: Dado

The E1 code on this dryer indicates that you have an "open" (defective) thermistor (temperature sensor). Replacing this part will likely fix your problem. What is the model number?

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

Can you possibly double check that model number and reply post. I ask because the "E1" error should only pertain to those models which are condensor (non-vented)... "WTL" dryers.

The error indicates either a blocked drain hose or a failed pump. This from Bosch...

E1 Pump failed

(WTL 5400condensationdryer only) Pump failed.

Check voltage at and wiring to pump.

Turn off dryer, measure pump resistance (110 - 136 ?) and replace faulty pump.

Also - Following items apply only to the WTL (Condensation Electric Dryer) models

Cycle is interrupted and ''E1'' appears in display• Condensate hose is blocked in some way. Turn off dryer and check hose.

I'll watch for your reply and try and help you move forward in any manner I can.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

It is a bad thermistor on the blower housing

E1 error code indicates an open thermistor or open thermistor circuit. A thermistor is a component that relays the temperature in the dryer to the control board. If the thermistor has failed, Error code E1 will be displayed.
You need to call a repair person to fix it.

I've read in other forums that E1 means the thermistor has failed. As far as I understand, it monitors the temperature of the air that is leaving the dryer and entering the dryer vent. If you're not handy, a service call is in order.
