F2 E1 is a stuck-button message on front-load Maytag washers; top-load pages list it without a cause.
What this code means
F2 E1
F2 E1 means the user interface detects a button that stays continuously activated (front load).
The control panel is what raises F2 E1. On front-load Maytag washers the meaning is a stuck button, where the user interface detects a button continuously activated. Maytag’s top-load page carries the code too, though it names no cause.
Maytag’s suggested fix
Disconnect the washer from its power source and leave it off for 5 minutes. Reconnect it, then see if F2 E1 comes back.
