- Error code
- F0 E4
- Appliance
- Washer
A hot-water alert on Maytag washers. Hoses first, then a power reset.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F0 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
F0 E4
F0 E4 is a water temperature alert: the water sensed is too hot.
Hot water is behind F0 E4. The front load version limits the final spin to 500 RPM; the top load version is tied to a rinse where 105 F (41 C) or higher is detected.
Try these in order
- Look at the water hoses: they must be installed correctly, with hot and cold lines not swapped.
- Then reset the washer control. It needs 5 minutes without power; if the washer is plugged in, unplug it for that time and reconnect.
