Maytag Washer Error Code E341

E341 means the washer has detected that one of the three phases in its 3-phase electrical supply has been lost for more than one second. The machine shuts down automatically to protect the motor and electronics from running on unbalanced power. This error points directly to the incoming power supply rather than an internal component failure. Restoring proper 3-phase power to the unit is the required first step.

A power reset alone will not permanently clear E341 if the underlying phase loss is still present. The code will return as soon as the washer powers up and detects the missing phase again. The fault will only clear and stay clear once all three phases of the supply are confirmed present and within spec.

If the fix is simply resetting a tripped breaker or replacing a blown fuse, costs are minimal, typically in the range of a few dollars for fuses plus any service call fee. If the issue requires an electrician to trace and repair facility wiring or replace a disconnect switch, costs can range from around $150 to $600 or more depending on the scope of work and local labor rates. If internal washer components were damaged by the phase loss, additional parts and repair costs would apply.

Diagnosing a tripped breaker or visually inspecting connections is within reach for a technically experienced person, but working on 3-phase electrical panels and commercial disconnect equipment carries serious shock and arc hazard risks. If the issue is beyond a simple breaker reset, a licensed electrician should inspect and restore the 3-phase supply. An appliance technician can confirm the washer itself is undamaged once proper power is restored.

No. Operating a 3-phase motor on only two phases, sometimes called single-phasing, causes excessive heat buildup and can permanently damage the motor windings and drive components. The washer's control system faults out specifically to prevent this damage. Do not attempt to bypass the error or force the machine to run until the power supply issue is resolved.
