Professional Repair Guide

What is this symptom?

If your Maytag washing machine displays error code F0E7, it indicates that clothing was detected during the Clean Washer cycle. This prevents the cycle from starting, requiring user intervention to resolve the issue. Ensuring the drum is empty and the correct cycle is selected can help clear the error and resume normal operation.
