Most searched Maytag washer codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 5D | Suds detected — Maytag's segmented-display rendering of the Sd suds code. |
| CL | Control Lock / Child Lock status on Maytag washers — the panel is locked (not a fault). Maytag also uses CL-family prompts around its cleaning cycle on some models; in both cases it is a status, not an error. |
| E01 | E01 is the zero-padded E-half (E1) of a Maytag two-part F/E code — incomplete on its own. The pairings owners actually search are F03+E01 = F3E1 (water level / pressure system fault), F06+E01 = F6E1 (serial communication error between the main control/CCU and the motor control/MCU), and F09+E01 = F9E1 (drain pump system error / long drain). |
| E3 | On a current Maytag washer, E3 by itself is not a complete code — it is the second half of the two-part F#E# fault display, and the pairing owners are almost always catching is F5 + E3: F5E3, the lid lock (top-load) or door lock (front-load) unlock fault. The tech sheet's wording: the fault is displayed if the lid lock has not moved into the unlocked position, or its motor cannot be powered. |
| LD | Long Drain — the washer is draining too slowly (Maytag top-load rendering; sibling of ND). |
| ND | No Drain — the washer is not draining (Maytag legacy/top-load rendering of the drain fault). |
| UL | Unbalanced load — the washer can't balance the load for spin (Maytag top-load). |
| XL | Not a Maytag fault code — XL is a capacity/model designation (extra-large tub) on Maytag washers, sometimes mistaken for an error when a cycle stops for another reason. |
