Maytag lists F3 E2 as a pressure system fault for front-load washers and a possible hose mix-up for top-load ones.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F3 E2 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
F3 E2
F3 E2: out-of-range or absent pressure signal (front load) or hot and cold hoses installed the wrong way round (top load).
Front-load washers
A pressure system fault, meaning an out-of-range or absent pressure signal. Maytag gives the 5-minute power reset as the owner step.
Top-load washers
- Compare the hose connections: the cold hose belongs on the cold inlet and the hot hose on the hot inlet. F3 E2 indicates they are crossed.
- Open the hot and cold valves fully. Both inlet hoses must be connected for correct operation.
- Cycle power: unplug, wait 5 minutes, plug in.
