Maytag Error Codes (plain-English guide)
Codes vary by series (e.g., MDB, MDBH, etc.). These are the most common patterns on Maytag/Whirlpool platforms.
- F6E4 — Overfill / float switch open. Float or overfill switch is tripped (water in base or unit out of level). Inspect for leaks and leveling; service typically required to find the source.
- F9E1 — Long drain. Can’t drain within time limit: blockage at hose/air gap/disposal or weak drain pump. Clear the path; check for a missing high loop.
- F8E4 — Overflow protection active. Too much water detected (possible leak into the base). Shut water off and schedule service.
- F8E2 — Drain pump electrical issue. Electrical fault in the drain circuit or pump wiring; needs pump/harness checks.
- F4E3 — Wash (circulation) motor not running / comms fault. Often a failed circulation pump or wiring.
- H2O — Low water supply / fill problem. Supply closed, kinked line, or clogged inlet screen. Open the valve; inspect the inlet valve and screens if it returns.
Pro tip: Snap a photo of the error display and the model label (e.g., MDB…). Attach both when booking so we bring the right parts.

What We Actually Do (Maytag/Whirlpool platform)
Observe → Hypothesize → Test → Fix → Verify
- Observe: quick cycle; listen to fill/circulation/drain; check water level, filter, arms, seals, hose routing.
- Test: fill rate/level, spray pressure & arm spin, heater temperature rise, drain rate/backflow, turbidity/level sensor behavior.
- Fix: clean/clear/descale with stainless-safe chemistry; correct high loop/air gap; re-level the cabinet; partial disassembly only as needed (filter housing, arms, accessible sump cover, toe-kick/drain area).
- Verify: proof cycle—spray pattern, temp rise, leak check, final drain, drying.
Result: restored circulation and heat, fewer re-washes, quieter operation, reduced strain on pumps, heaters, and seals.
Common Maytag Parts We Carry (faster first-visit repairs)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My Maytag dishwasher is leaking. What should I do?
A: First, for your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before proceeding. Then try to identify the source of the leak. Check the connections to the water inlet and drain hoses. If you can't pinpoint the leak, contact a qualified technician.
Q: What does the F9 error code on my Maytag dishwasher mean?
A: The F9 error code indicates that the dishwasher is taking too long to fill with water. Possible causes include low water pressure, a kinked inlet hose, or a faulty water inlet valve. Check your home's water pressure, inspect the inlet hose, and ensure the water supply valve to the dishwasher is fully open. For further assistance, contact a professional.
Q: The door on my Maytag dishwasher won’t lock. What can I do?
A: Check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. Make sure the latch mechanism isn't damaged or stuck. If you can't identify the problem, it's best to call a qualified technician to avoid further damage.
Q: What does error code F7E1 mean on my Maytag dishwasher?
A: This code indicates a drainage issue. Possible causes include a clogged drain hose, a blockage in the air gap (if your dishwasher has one), or a faulty drain pump.

Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?
Deciding whether to repair or replace your Maytag dishwasher depends on several factors. The age of your appliance plays a significant role. If your dishwasher is more than eight years old and requires a costly repair, replacement might be a more economical long-term solution. Consider the cost of the repair relative to the price of a new appliance.
The type of problem also influences this decision. Minor issues like a faulty door latch are generally worth repairing. However, extensive damage or recurring problems with major components, such as the pump or motor, often justify replacing the unit.
