Error codeF7 E2
ApplianceWasher
Meaning depends on the washer
A front load Maytag uses F7 E2 to report an MCI drive failure somewhere in the motor or the ACU hardware. A top load Maytag uses the same code for an alert about the appliance control unit, the user interface, or the wiring between them.
What an owner can do
Only one step is on offer, and it is the same for both: cycle the power.
Take power off the washer, which means unplugging it where it has a plug.
Wait 5 minutes.
Reconnect and look for F7 E2 on the display.
Beyond this, drive and control faults are technician work, since they sit in the motor and electronics.
F6 E3 is a communication error between control boards.
Washer repair in San Francisco and the Bay Area
A returning F7 E2 should go to a technician. Dial (415) 649-2156 for Maytag washers in San Francisco and around the bay, and have the model number, the type of washer and the result of the reset at hand. Our Maytag washer repair page gives more.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F7 E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
