How to Fix Maytag Dryer Error 0E

Error Code: Dryer Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Over-suds detection—excess detergent causing foam overflow into drain system

How to Fix Dryer Error

1. Cancel current cycle and power off dryer.
2. Remove lint screen and inspect for soap residue—clean thoroughly under running water.
3. Wipe interior of drum with damp cloth to remove detergent residue.
4. Run empty rinse cycle (no clothes) using cold water setting to flush residual suds from system.
5. For future loads: use HE (High Efficiency) detergent only, reduce detergent amount to manufacturer recommendation (typically 1-2 tablespoons for normal loads).
6. Avoid liquid fabric softeners—use dryer sheets instead to prevent sensor contamination.
7. If 0E recurs frequently with proper detergent amounts, moisture sensor bars may be contaminated—clean per F3E2 procedure.
8. Error clears automatically after suds dissipate and sensor readings return to normal—no parts replacement needed.
