Questions
about F7E2.

Can I clear F7E2 myself?
Reset by cutting power for 30 seconds. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Could a detergent change fix F7E2 on my Maytag?
No, dishes coming out dirty with this code on the panel point to the wash motor rather than the soap. The motor did not run when the control called for it.
How can I check the Maytag wash motor after F7E2?
After 30 seconds without power, run a short cycle and listen for spray hitting the inside of the door. If F7E2 comes back, the motor and its connectors need testing.
