Maytag Washer F0 E4 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F0 E4
Appliance Washer

Two meanings, one cause: hot water

  • Front load: the water is hotter than the final spin allows, so the spin is capped at 500 RPM.
  • Top load: the rinse cycle ran hot, with 105 F (41 C) or above detected.

Steps from Maytag

  1. Inspect the inlet hoses. They have to be fitted properly, each on its own connection, so hot and cold are not swapped.
  2. Reset the control: pull the plug, wait 5 minutes, then plug the washer in again.

After both steps, watch whether F0 E4 appears again.

  • F0 E5 reports an off-balance load.
  • F0 E3 reports an overload.

Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F0 E4 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

F0 E4 is a water temperature code: front load spin is limited to 500 RPM by hot water, and top load washers detect 105 F (41 C) or higher in the rinse.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
