Error codeFAE4, F10E4
ApplianceDishwasher
Whether the display reads FAE4 or F10E4, Maytag lists the same thing: a diverter valve error.
The single reset
Disconnect the dishwasher from power for 30 seconds. Unplug it if it has a plug, or turn its breaker off at the home electrical panel if it is hard wired.
Restore the power.
Monitor the dishwasher to see whether the code reappears.
That is the whole of the owner-level help for this code.
Booking Maytag dishwasher service in San Francisco
If the code comes back after the reset, a technician visit is the next step. Ring (415) 649-2156, mention FAE4 or F10E4 and the model number, and say how the reset went. The Maytag dishwasher repair service covers San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so FAE4, F10E4 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
