How to read F6 E1 on a Maytag dishwasher and what Maytag suggests first.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F6 E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
F6 E1
User interface error, main control.
The short version
User interface error, main control. Maytag’s troubleshooting line reads: cycle power, and if the error code remains, call for service.
What cycling power involves
As with a computer, a reset can sometimes clear the trouble. The dishwasher control must stay disconnected for 30 seconds. Pull the plug and reinsert it, or, on a hard-wired unit, switch the home panel breaker off and then on again.
