Maytag Washer Error Codes
Before calling us check if your Maytag Appliance is displaying any of error codes provided below:

Solution
SUDS
The sign means that you have excess suds in your washer
When you turn on your washer, and it returns this code while the cycle is on it means the dedicated sensor detects excess suds. Your appliance switches into the suds removal mode, pumps clean water into the tub with clean water, then drains it again, and tumbles down the washed garments. However, the routine described may not get rid of all the suds. In this case, the machine will return his code again. To avoid a situation like this, we would advise you to add a correct amount of quality detergents when you are going start a new washing cycle.

The washer signals that its drive tachometer is faulty
Disconnect the washer from the mains grid and examine the wiring harness connecting the drive control unit and the drive itself. You may also want to inspect the wire harness connecting the drive control unit with the main electronic control unit. If you see any loose wires, reconnect them back in place. In case the wire harnesses are damaged, it needs replacement. However, if the wiring is in good condition and operates well, test if the spin drum rotation is smooth. If you see any jerks and hear any friction sounds while it’s moving, you may want to check if nothing is caught between the tub and the drum, obstructing its smooth rotation. At this point, you have two options left if the drum rotates as it should: either you replace the drive, or you replace the drive control unit if the issue persists.

The washer will return this error code if the drive or drive control unit is overheated
The components may overheat if you overload the machine with washables, and that will cause the washer to return this code. To resolve this issue, remove some items from the drum if there are too many and always load the washer in compliance with recommendations. Another cause of the overheated drive or drive control unit is excess friction in the system. Check if there is nothing stuck between the spin drum and the tub. You may also want to inspect the tub bearing, and if it is worn out or blocked, replace it with a new one. If all of the above is in order, you may need to replace the faulty drive itself or the drive control unit.

You will see this code if the washer detects some kind of steam valve failure
This is when you want to examine the water supply hoses for bends. Inspect the screen at the place where the water supply hoses are connected to the washer and clear it if it is blocked. If all the hoses and connections are in order, you will have to replace the defective steam valve with a new one.

The error code will light on if no water is detected in the tub
In this case, you will want to make sure that water supply taps, to which your washer is connected, are fully open and if there is water in your water supply system. Another reason for this code to appear is the damaged drain system that siphons water out of the washer. Once you have corrected the mentioned problems if any, the water supply should restore, and your washer will be ready to run another cycle.

Once you see this code, your washer has an issue with a dispenser

The washer will display this warning code if water overflows
Disconnect your washing machine from the mains grid and water supply. Inspect the water valve unit for any damage. This assembly is responsible for stopping the water flow once the sufficient level of it is reached. In case the water valve unit is faulty, replace it with a new one. You can also receive this code when your washer is actually empty. This is the case when the water level pressure switch will need replacement.

(866) 931-7158F8 E4
This code is returned in case the water flow is low
This malfunction happens because the water flow meter detects a long fill time needed for the washer to be full. You will want to check that both water supply taps of your water supply system are fully opened, and your system has a sufficient water pressure level. Another reason for this failure may be in the washer drain system, which may siphon water. You may also want to check the water valve unit. Replace it if it is defective. In case you receive this code, but water flows normally, you will have to replace the water flow meter with a new one.

When you receive this code, it means your washer has detected long drain time
Inspect your washer for excess suds and remove them if revealed, as your washer is not able to drain freely excessively sudsy water. You may also want to check your home drainage for any clogs. It is also advisable to see if no bends happened to the drain hose and if there are no clogs in it. Test the drain pump, and if you see it defective, replace it with a new one. However, if you see the washer drains the way it should, it means that the water level pressure switch cannot accurately detect the water level and needs replacement.
