Reading F6 E4 on a Maytag dishwasher: the water float switch, leveling and a power cycle.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F6 E4 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
F6 E4
Water float switch.
F6 E4 summary
Water float switch. Maytag lists leveling the dishwasher and cycling power as the troubleshooting.
What to try
- Confirm that the dishwasher is level. An unlevel machine can trip the overfill or floater switch and cause the error.
- Remove power to the control for 30 seconds, either by unplugging the unit or by turning off its breaker at the home panel.
- Restore power and see whether F6 E4 shows again.
