Maytag Dryer Error Code bC.2

The bC.2 code on a Maytag dryer indicates a blocked coin condition at the second coin drop position or a failure in the coin drop control circuit. While this error is active, the dryer disables coin recognition and price display functions. The issue affects coin-operated commercial Maytag dryer models specifically. Resolving the blockage or repairing the circuit will clear the error.

The bC.2 error itself does not indicate a fire, electrical hazard, or mechanical danger to the dryer. It is specifically a coin mechanism and control circuit fault that affects payment functionality. However, leaving a jammed coin mechanism unaddressed in a commercial setting means the dryer may not operate for paying customers, representing a service disruption rather than a safety risk.

A simple power reset may temporarily clear the displayed code, but if the underlying cause such as a coin blockage or circuit fault has not been resolved, the bC.2 error will return. The dryer needs the actual blockage cleared or the faulty circuit component repaired before the error will stay cleared. Always address the root cause before relying on a reset to restore normal operation.

Start by inspecting the coin chute and coin drop mechanism for any jammed coins, tokens, or debris, and remove any obstructions you find. If the coin path is clear, check the wiring harness connections between the coin drop assembly and the control board for loose or corroded terminals. If those components are intact, the coin drop module or assembly may need to be tested and potentially replaced. Cycling power to the unit after clearing a blockage can help confirm whether the error has been resolved.

If the fix is simply clearing a coin blockage, there is no parts cost involved. If wiring repairs are needed, costs typically range from a modest labor charge up to around $100 to $150 depending on the extent of the damage. Replacing a coin drop control module or full coin drop assembly can range from $75 to $250 or more for parts alone, with additional labor costs if a technician is called in.
