Err on Maytag front load washers has two triggers. Reset the control by cutting power for 5 minutes.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so Err 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
Err
Err means a cycle was changed during a run or started with the door open.
Err on a Maytag front load washer is short for a simple mistake in the sequence. It is shown when:
- you attempt to change or modify the cycle while the washer is running, or
- you attempt to start a cycle with the door open.
Reset steps
- Disconnect the washer from its power source; with a plug, simply pull it from the outlet.
- Wait 5 minutes.
- Plug the washer back in and see whether the code returns.
