F8E3 on a Maytag dishwasher is an inlet water code: very low water, suds, or air in the pump.
What this code means
F8E3
F8E3 means inlet water: very low water, suds, or air in the pump.
The Maytag technical manual lists F8E3 as an inlet water code with three possible readings: very low water, suds, or air in the pump.
Reading the three possibilities
The code does not say which of the three applies, and the manual entry gives no owner procedure. If you see foam in the tub, a technician can still use that detail. Mention it when you call.
Where to look next
Other inlet water codes in the same list include F8E1 for no water or a closed tap and F8E2 for a fill valve electrical problem. F8E5 covers a fill valve stuck open.
