What this code means
F0 E1 / rL
F0 E1 or rL means items were detected in the drum during a Clean Washer cycle.
What F0 E1 and rL mean
On a Maytag front load washer, F0 E1 and rL are the same message. The Clean Washer cycle was started, but the machine detects a load inside.
Fix
Remove everything from the drum, then run the Clean Washer cycle again. Maytag’s front load list shows the same advice under rL: items were detected, so take them out of the drum and restart the cycle.
