Maytag Washer Error Codes – What They Mean & How to Fix
Maytag washing machines display error codes to pinpoint faults before they become costly repairs. Below is the complete error code reference for Maytag front-load and top-load washers, plus DIY fixes for each.
📋 Quick Reference
| F0 E1 / F1 E1 | Main control board failure |
| F5 E2 | Door lock fault – door won’t latch |
| F8 E1 / LO FL | Low water flow / fill issue |
| Sd / Sud | Excess suds detected |
| F9 E1 | Drain time exceeded |
✅ Step-by-Step Fix
F0 E1 / F1 E1 – Control Board
Unplug for 1 minute. If error returns, the main control board needs replacement (part #W10189966 or model-specific).
F5 E2 – Door Lock
Check that no clothing is caught in the door seal. Run a door lock test cycle. If fault persists, replace the door latch assembly.
F8 E1 / LO FL – Water Flow
Check that both water supply valves are fully open. Inspect inlet screens for sediment. Ensure water pressure is 10–120 psi.
Sd / Sud – Excess Suds
Run a Rinse & Spin cycle without adding detergent. Use only HE (High Efficiency) detergent in correct amounts.
F9 E1 – Slow Drain
Check and clean the drain pump filter (lower front panel). Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages.
Reset All Codes
Unplug the washer for 1 full minute, then plug back in. Many transient errors clear with a power cycle.
