Reading F2 E4
Maytag lists this alert for top-load washers. Its description: there is an issue with the user interface or the wiring associated with it.
The only listed remedy
Unplug the washer.
Give it 5 minutes without power.
Plug it in again and see whether the alert comes back.
Maytag likens the exercise to rebooting a computer, something that can sometimes solve the issue. If F2 E4 appears again, the next step is a technician visit.
A Maytag top-load washer that keeps flashing F2 E4 can be booked for Maytag washer repair by calling (415) 649-2156. We cover San Francisco and the Bay Area; have the code, the model number and the result of the power reset to hand.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F2 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.
