What this code means
F7 E3
The basket is engaged during the wash because the shifter is not engaging or disengaging it correctly.
F7 E3 on a Maytag front load washer is a shifter message. The washer reports that the basket is engaged during the wash, because the shifter is not engaging or disengaging the basket the way it should.
What the owner can try
Maytag’s help page gives one step: cycle power to the control. Unplug the washer, leave it disconnected for 5 minutes, then plug it back in and watch whether F7 E3 returns. A control reset can clear a one-time fault.
If F7 E3 comes back
A code that returns after the reset points to the shifter itself, which is work for a technician. Keep the washer unplugged until someone has looked at it.
