F3 E5 on a Maytag front-load washer is a mini bulk system error; top-load pages say mini dispenser and add detergent manually.
What this code means
F3 E5
F3 E5: bulk level sensor signal out of range (front load); mini dispenser message (top load).
The two Maytag help pages for F3 E5 describe different washers. For front-load models it is a mini bulk system error, with the bulk level sensor signal out of range. The top-load page is headed Mini Dispenser and says to add detergent manually.
What you can do
Add your detergent by hand if you have a top-load machine. On both, unplug the washer for 5 minutes, plug it in again, and monitor the code.
