What this code means
F22
F22 indicates a front door lock issue on Maytag front-load washers.
F22 on a front-load Maytag washer is about the front door lock. These are the checks Maytag lists.
Is the door firmly shut?
The door must be completely closed for the washer to run. Make sure no clothing or shipping material blocks the door latch.
Is the lock dirty?
Detergent, fabric softener and other wash media can build up around the door lock. If needed, clean the area with a soft, damp cloth.
Was it a large load?
Before closing the door, look for laundry sticking out past the opening. Leave room for the clothes to tumble freely, because an overloaded basket may keep the door from shutting fully. Reduce the load size if needed.
