- Error code
- F# E# / F##
- Appliance
- Washer
For F# E# or F## on Maytag Top Load HE washers, use START/PAUSE to clear and restart; service follows if it stays.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F# E# / F## 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
F# E# / F##
A system error code that START/PAUSE clears; otherwise the washer needs service.
Maytag Top Load HE washers use F# E# or F## to report a system error. Maytag’s help says that these may not be all of the codes for your model, and sends owners to the Owner’s Manual for the specific list.
Clearing the code
One press of START/PAUSE clears the message. A second press of START/PAUSE starts the washer again. Should the code stay on the display, service is the next step.
Compare with these
- F0 E2: excess suds.
- F0 E7: clothes found when a Clean Washer cycle was chosen.
- F0 E8: water left in the tub.
