What this code means
F7 EC
Maytag lists the code without stating a cause; the steps are a power reset and checking for an overloaded washer.
Maytag lists F7 EC for front load washers but does not state what causes it. Its help page gives two things to try.
Check the load
Ask whether the washer is overloaded. Avoid tightly packing the load: clothing should move freely inside the washer. Overloading can cause extra wear on the machine as well as on the garments.
Reset the control
Unplug the washer for 5 minutes, then plug it in and see if F7 EC is still there.
