What this code means
F7 E6
Motor circuit open on front load models; top load models list the code with reset and service steps only.
Maytag front load and top load washers can both display F7 E6, and Maytag’s help pages treat them differently.
Front load models
On front load washers F7 E6 means the motor circuit is open. A technician checks the motor circuit; that is not an owner repair.
Top load models
For top load washers Maytag lists F7 E6 without giving a cause. It only gives the reset and the advice to arrange service.
The reset Maytag suggests
For either type, take the washer off power. Unplug it for 5 minutes, plug it back in, and see whether the code returns.
