What this code means
F7 E6
Open motor circuit on front load washers; reset and service steps only for top load washers.
Reset first, on any model
Maytag’s pages for F7 E6 agree on this: cycle the power. Disconnect the washer from the outlet, keep it disconnected for 5 minutes, then connect it again. Resetting a washer control can sometimes solve the problem.
What the code stands for
- Front load: the motor circuit is open.
- Top load: no cause is stated by Maytag, just the reset and a prompt to schedule service.
Other codes in the same range
- F7 E7, motor unable to reach target RPM
- F7 E8, motor drive module over temperature
