Maytag Dryer Error Code d14

The d14 code indicates an upper dryer motor sense circuit error detected by the control board in a stacked dryer configuration. It can be caused by an actual fault in the motor sense circuit or by power line interference. When active, the code disables the upper dryer's cycles and turns off the display. The code must be manually cleared through the set-up mode before the dryer will operate again.

A standard power reset may not clear the d14 code on a Maytag stacked dryer. The code must be cleared manually through the unit's set-up mode. Even after clearing, if the underlying cause is a hardware fault rather than power line interference, the code will return and further diagnostic work will be needed.

Repair costs depend on the root cause. If the issue is power line interference and the code clears without returning, there may be no parts cost at all. A control board replacement can range from roughly $150 to $350 in parts alone, while a motor replacement may range from $100 to $250 or more for the part, with additional labor costs on top if a technician is hired.

The first step is something you can do yourself: enter set-up mode to view and manually clear the code. If the error does not return, the cause was likely a temporary power line interference event. However, if d14 comes back repeatedly, diagnosing a faulty control board, wiring issue, or motor typically requires a technician with the proper tools and knowledge.

When d14 is active, the upper dryer cycles and display are automatically disabled by the control board, so normal operation is not possible regardless. Do not attempt to bypass the lockout. If the code is cleared and the dryer resumes, but the code returns during operation, discontinue use and have the motor sense circuit inspected before continuing.
