Maytag Dishwasher error codes

The main control and the control panel stopped talking to each other properly. Buttons may not respond or the cycle will not start.

The control sees a problem with the water float switch that guards against overfilling. A dishwasher that is not level can tip the float and trigger this code.

On current models, the dishwasher is not sensing water coming in during the fill, so it cannot continue. Some models show H2O for this. On certain older models F8E1 instead signals a slow drain.

A float switch in the drip tray under the tub detected water where it should not be. The dishwasher starts draining and will not run until the code is cleared.

On current models, the dishwasher could not pump the water out in the expected time. On some older models F9E1 instead means the control lost track of the diverter that switches water between spray arms.

The dishwasher's main control detected a fault within itself, such as a stuck relay. The dishwasher may not start or may stop mid-cycle.

On current models, the dishwasher detected too much foam in the tub, which keeps it from filling and washing properly. Older models describe this as suds or air in the pump.
