Error Codes in my Maytag Front Load Washer
Error Codes LOC or LC
Error: Control Lock has been activated
How to Fix: Touch the Control Lock button, or (on older models) determine which button activates the control lock from your Owner's Manual. Some models require you to press and hold the button.
Error Codes dET
Error: The detergent cartridge was not detected in the dispenser.
How to Fix: This is on select models. If you are using single-load doses of detergent, ignore this message.
Ensure the dispenser cartridge is inserted correctly and the dispenser drawer is shut completely.
Error Codes Int
Error: The cycle was paused or canceled.
How to Fix: The washer may take 20 to 30 minutes to stop spinning and drain and will display this error code during that time.
To remove the code, press the pause or cancel button twice and the power button once. If the code is still displayed, unplug the washer or disconnect the power for one minute.
Error Codes rL or F34
Error: Items were detected in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle.
Remove items from the drum and restart the Clean Washer cycle.
Error Codes Sud or Sd
Error: There are too many suds in the washing machine.
How to Fix: The washer will not be able to spin out water with the excess suds. When "Sud" or "Sd" is displayed, the washer automatically extends the rinse time to remove the excess suds. During this time, the washer pauses the tumbling and adds water for additional rinsing. This pause allows the bubbles in the suds to break. This pause and rinsing are necessary and may occur several times to eliminate the suds.
Make sure you are using HE or High-Efficiency detergent.
If you used "no splash" or "easy pour" liquid chlorine bleach, you could also have too many suds. This type of liquid chlorine bleach contains a thickening agent that may create excess suds in washers. If this is the case, run the washer with regular liquid bleach products.
The Sud or Sd code may also be the result of a restricted drain hose or standpipe (drainpipe). Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked or clogged.

Check that there are no items blocking the door and it is closing completely. Press the Pause or Cancel button twice and the Power button once to clear the code.

Error Code F8 E2
Error: Indicates there is a problem with the Dispenser System
How to Fix: This is on select models. Verify detergent drawer or detergent cartridge is not clogged with detergent.
Error Code F9 E1
Error: Indicates that drain times are longer than expected, typically over eight (8) minutes.
How to Fix: Make sure the drain hose is not kinked or clogged. Use the U-shaped drain hose form on the drain hose. The standpipe (drainpipe) height requirements are 96" (244 cm) maximum and 39" (99 cm) minimum.
Excessive suds may also cause delays in draining. Make sure you are using HE detergent.
