What 00 means on a Maytag dryer

Error code 00 on a Maytag dryer is not a fault indication. It appears in the diagnostic display to confirm that the control board has no stored error codes in its memory. When you enter diagnostic mode and see 00, the board has completed its scan of logged faults and found nothing recorded. This is a status message, not a failure signal.

For homeowners, seeing 00 during a diagnostic cycle simply means the dryer has not detected or stored any electronic fault codes since the last time the memory was cleared. If you entered diagnostic mode because your dryer is behaving oddly, the 00 display tells you the issue is not captured as a stored code. The problem may be intermittent, mechanical in nature, or occurring under conditions the board does not log as a discrete fault.

Technicians should treat 00 as a clean slate confirmation. If a customer complaint persists despite a 00 reading, focus on mechanical inspection, venting, load conditions, and any symptoms the customer describes rather than electronic fault tracing. No part replacement is indicated by this code on its own.

Common causes of 00

  1. 01

    No faults have occurred or been logged

    Wiring / connection

    The control board completed its diagnostic memory scan and found no stored codes. This is the normal, expected result when the dryer is functioning correctly or when fault memory has been cleared.

  2. 02

    Intermittent fault not captured by the control board

    Wiring / connection

    Some issues, particularly those tied to loose connections or conditions that only occur mid-cycle, may not trigger a stored code. The problem resolves before the board logs it, resulting in a 00 display even when a real symptom exists.

  3. 03

    Fault memory was recently cleared

    Wiring / connection

    If the dryer was power-cycled or if a technician previously cleared the stored codes, the board will show 00 because no new faults have been logged since the reset.

Frequently asked questions about 00

What does error code 00 mean on a Maytag dryer?
Error code 00 means the control board found no stored diagnostic fault codes in its memory. It is a status message confirming a clean diagnostic log, not an error indicating a broken component. You will see it when you enter diagnostic mode on a dryer that has either never logged a fault or had its memory cleared.
Can I still use my Maytag dryer when it shows code 00?
Yes. Code 00 is not a fault code and does not indicate a problem with the dryer. Your dryer is safe to operate normally. If you entered diagnostic mode because of a performance issue, the 00 result means the board has not logged that issue as a fault, so investigate mechanical causes like restricted venting or drum obstructions separately.
How do I fix error code 00 on a Maytag dryer?
There is nothing to fix for code 00 itself. It is the diagnostic system's way of reporting an empty fault log. If your dryer is running normally, exit diagnostic mode and continue using it. If you have an ongoing symptom despite seeing 00, check the exhaust vent for blockages, inspect the door latch, and verify the load size, since mechanical issues often do not produce stored fault codes.
How much does it cost to repair a Maytag dryer showing code 00?
Code 00 requires no repair and costs nothing to address on its own. If your dryer has a separate performance complaint that led you to check for codes, repair costs depend entirely on what the underlying issue turns out to be after a manual inspection. Common low-cost fixes like clearing a blocked vent or reseating a loose wiring connector can often be done without parts.
Why does my Maytag dryer show 00 in diagnostic mode but still has a problem?
Code 00 confirms no electronic faults are stored, but some problems do not produce fault codes. Mechanical issues such as a worn drum bearing, a clogged exhaust duct, a slipping belt, or an overloaded circuit will affect performance without triggering a logged code. Work through a physical inspection of the venting system, drum, motor, and electrical supply to track down the symptom.
