Low Voltage or Missing Line
Quick Answer
Error code L2 on your Maytag Dryers means: Low Voltage or Missing Line. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Likely Causes
  1. One leg of the 240V electrical supply is missing due to a tripped or blown fuse in the breaker panel
  2. Loose or corroded connection at the dryer terminal block or power cord
  3. Defective wall outlet with a failed contact on one leg
  4. Power cord has a broken internal conductor
How to Fix It
1
Verify both circuit breakers for the dryer circuit are fully in the on position at the electrical panel
2
Use a multimeter to measure voltage at the dryer outlet; you should read 240V between the two hot terminals and 120V from each hot to neutral
3
Inspect the dryer power cord connection at the terminal block for loose, corroded, or burned terminals
4
If the outlet reads correct voltage but the dryer does not, replace the power cord
5
If the outlet is not providing proper voltage, contact a licensed electrician to diagnose and repair the supply circuit
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
