What is known about FC E0
It shows on front load Maytag washers.
No cause is stated.
The listed answer is a reset of the control, then service if the code stays.
Doing the reset
Take the washer off its power source for five minutes. With a plugged-in washer, that means pulling the plug, waiting, and pushing it back in. A reset can sometimes clear a code like this one. Afterward, watch for FC E0 on the next run.
