Maytag Dryer Error Code PUSH

The PUSH indicator on a Maytag dryer is not an error code in the traditional sense. It is a status prompt that appears on coin-operated or metered Maytag dryer models to indicate that the required payment or activation amount has been inserted and the unit is now ready to begin a cycle. The display is essentially waiting for the user to complete the setup process by making a temperature selection before the start command can be executed.

This prompt is part of the dryer's cycle initiation sequence. On commercial or coin-operated Maytag dryer platforms, the control board monitors input from the payment or activation mechanism. Once the correct input is received, the control logic advances to the next step in the startup sequence and displays PUSH to signal that the machine is primed and ready. The dryer will not start until a valid temperature setting is selected, which acts as a final confirmation input to the control board.

If the PUSH prompt appears but the dryer does not respond to temperature selection inputs, the issue may lie with the selector switch, the control board, or a wiring fault between these components. In a properly functioning unit, selecting a temperature setting should immediately allow the cycle to begin. Persistent display of this prompt despite correct user input warrants inspection of the temperature selector switch for continuity and the control board for signs of failure or poor connections.
