Maytag Dryer Error Code d-10

The d-10 code means the dryer's control board detected incoming supply voltage below 90 VAC for at least 8 seconds. The dryer shuts down and displays this code to prevent component damage from operating under unsafe voltage conditions. The fault points to the electrical supply circuit rather than an internal dryer component in most cases.

You should not continue operating the dryer while the d-10 code is active. Low voltage conditions can cause motors and heating components to draw excess current, which can overheat wiring and damage the dryer's electrical components over time. Address the source of the low voltage before resuming normal use.

Repair costs depend on the root cause. If the fix is a breaker reset or tightening terminal block connections, there may be no parts cost at all. A replacement power cord typically costs between 20 and 60 dollars in parts. If an electrician is needed to address wiring or panel issues, service call and labor costs can range from 100 to 300 dollars or more depending on the scope of work.

Start by checking the circuit breaker dedicated to the dryer and resetting it fully if it has tripped. Use a multimeter to verify that supply voltage at the dryer outlet or terminal block is at the correct level for your dryer type. Inspect the power cord and terminal block connections for looseness or corrosion. If voltage reads correctly and the code persists, a technician should inspect the control board's sensing circuit.

Resetting the dryer may temporarily clear the d-10 code, but the fault will return if the underlying voltage problem is not corrected. If utility power experienced a brief dip and has since stabilized, a reset may resolve the issue permanently. A recurring code after reset indicates an ongoing supply voltage problem that requires electrical inspection.
