Pressure sensor fault on a Maytag washer, shown as F3E1.

What this code means
F3E1
Pressure sensor fault: out-of-range pressure signal.
Display reads F3E1? Maytag lists it as a pressure sensor fault where the pressure signal is out of range.
Easily confused with
- F3 E2: pressure system fault, with a pressure signal that is out of range or missing.
- F3E2: an inlet water temperature fault involving the inlet thermistor.
- F3 E5: mini bulk system error, where the bulk level sensor signal is out of range.
Owner action
None is listed for F3E1. Disconnect the washer from power if you plan to be near it, and let a technician handle the sensor side.
