Error codeF2 E2
ApplianceWasher
F2 E2 tells you the control panel and the main control are not communicating. In the front-load help entry, Maytag describes it as the HMI (the user interface) being disconnected from the ACU. The top-load entry is headed keypad and states no further cause.
What the owner can do
One step is listed for either type, a power cycle.
Pull the washer’s plug from the outlet.
Wait out 5 minutes.
Plug back in and look at the display for F2 E2.
If the message is still there, a technician visit is how it moves forward.
F2 E5 covers a problem with the interface or its wiring.
F1 E1 belongs to the main control rather than the panel.
