Error codeF4 E4
ApplianceWasher
F4 E4 turns up on front load Maytag washers. No explanation accompanies it in the manufacturer’s help article, which leaves just one instruction: reset the power.
Reset sequence
Switch off the supply to the washer by unplugging it, or by disconnecting it if it is not on a plug.
Leave it for 5 minutes.
Reconnect, run the washer, and see whether F4 E4 shows again.
Maytag describes this like turning a computer off and on again: the control starts clean.
Compare with these
F4 E1 is the matching code, treated in the same way.
When to book Maytag washer repair in San Francisco
Because the reset is the only owner step, a code that stays is a case for a technician. Reach San Francisco and Bay Area service at (415) 649-2156, tell us F4 E4, the model number, and that the washer sat unplugged for the full time. See Maytag washer repair for the details.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F4 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.
