What this code means
F1 E1
F1 E1 on a Maytag front-load washer is listed as a main control (ACU) fault; top-load models get reset-or-service steps only.
F1 E1 on a Maytag washer points at the main control. For front-load models Maytag describes it as a main control (ACU) fault. The top-load listing shows the same code but gives no cause, only a reset step and a pointer to service.
The reset Maytag lists
Maytag compares the control to a computer that sometimes recovers after a restart. Unplug the washer, leave it disconnected for 5 minutes, plug it back in, and watch whether F1 E1 shows up again.
