AF
Maytag dryer error AF usually means the exhaust vent is restricted and airflow is no longer strong enough for safe drying.
high severity
L2
Electric dryers in North America run on a 240-volt circuit made up of two 120-volt legs. L2 means the dryer is not receiving the correct voltage on the second leg (Leg 2). The dryer may run but produces no heat, or may not run at all. This is a power supply issue — either the circuit breaker has partially tripped, a fuse in the panel has blown, or there is a wiring fault in the outlet or supply cable.
high severity
PF
The dryer detected a power interruption during a cycle. PF is an informational display — it tells you the cycle did not complete because power was lost. The dryer is now operational and waiting for you to restart or resume the cycle.
