Maytag Washer F8E6 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F8E6
Appliance Washer

Two readings of F8E6

  • Water hazard: the tub holds water and the lid has been left open for more than 10 minutes.
  • No fill: while the washer was supposed to be filling, the water level stayed where it was.

First, tell them apart

  1. Unplug the washer before touching anything near it.
  2. Think back to what the washer was doing. Was water sitting in the tub with the lid up, or was it trying to fill with nothing happening to the level?
  3. Write that down. It identifies which meaning applies.

Similar codes

  • F8E1 is the long fill, with the water level unchanged for a period of time.
  • F8E5 concerns the hot and cold inlet hoses being reversed.
  • F20 is a water inlet problem.
