What this code means
F8E6
F8E6 is listed as water in the tub with the lid left open more than 10 minutes, and as a no-fill where the water level does not change for a period of time.
F8E6 on a Maytag washer is listed with two different meanings, so the first job is to work out which one matches what the washer was doing.
What F8E6 can mean
- Water hazard: there is water in the tub and the lid was left open for more than 10 minutes.
- No fill: the water level does not change for a period of time.
What to do first
Unplug the washer before you touch anything around it. Then note whether the washer was sitting with water in the tub and the lid open, or whether it was trying to fill and the water level never moved. That detail tells the two meanings apart.
