Error codeErr
ApplianceWasher
Err on a Maytag front load washer is triggered in two situations. One is touching the settings to alter the cycle after the washer has begun running. The other is pressing start with the door standing open.
Reset the control
Maytag compares the washer control with a computer: a reset sometimes clears trouble. For that, the panel must stay without power for a full 5 minutes.
Pull the plug from the outlet (or otherwise disconnect the power source).
Leave it for 5 minutes.
Reconnect the washer and see whether Err comes back.
Where to look next

If Err returns even though the door is shut and the cycle is left alone, arrange a technician visit through Maytag washer repair for San Francisco homes. The number is (415) 649-2156; keep the model number to hand and say that you reset the power.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so Err may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
