What this code means
F4 E1
Maytag lists this code but states no cause, only reset and service steps.
Where F4 E1 applies
Front load Maytag washers display F4 E1. Maytag does not explain the fault, so its guidance is limited to resetting.
Steps
- Disconnect the washer from its power source.
- Keep it disconnected for 5 minutes. For a plugged-in unit that means unplugging it.
- Reconnect it and watch whether the code reappears.
