When the cartridge is seated and dET still shows, a technician visit for your washer in San Francisco or the Bay Area is booked on (415) 649-2156. Have the model number and your checks ready. Details: Maytag washer repair.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so dET may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
