1. Items Detected in the Washer During the Clean Washer Cycle (for some models):

• This interpretation is more common for older Maytag washer models with a dedicated "Clean Washer" cycle.
• It means the washer detected items inside the drum during the cleaning cycle, which could prevent proper cleaning or damage the machine.
• Troubleshooting:
  • Ensure the drum is empty: Double-check that no clothes or other objects are inside the washer before running the Clean Washer cycle.
  • Power cycle the washer: Turn it off, wait a minute, and turn it back on.
  • Try running a regular wash cycle: If the F34 error persists after power cycling, run a normal wash cycle to see if the issue resolves.
  • Consult your user manual: It might have specific troubleshooting steps for your model and the Clean Washer cycle.

2. Analog Pressure Sensor Error (for some models):

• This interpretation is more common for newer Maytag washer models.
• It indicates a problem with the analog pressure sensor, which measures water pressure in the washer drum and helps regulate water levels.
• Troubleshooting:
  • Power cycle the washer: Turn it off, wait a minute, and turn it back on.
  • Consult your user manual: It might have specific troubleshooting steps for your model and the pressure sensor.
  • Seek professional help: If the F34 error persists after power cycling, consider contacting a qualified appliance repair technician for diagnosis and repair.

Important Note:

• Accurately interpreting the F34 error code and finding the right troubleshooting steps require knowing your specific Maytag model and year of manufacture. Different models might have variations in error codes and troubleshooting procedures.

Additional things to remember:

• Avoid internal repairs: Attempting repairs involving internal components like the pressure sensor is only recommended for experienced individuals with proper knowledge and tools. Improper actions can damage the washer or void your warranty.
• Consult your user manual: It's your best resource for specific troubleshooting advice tailored to your washer model.
• Contact Maytag support: If your washer is still under warranty, Maytag might cover repairs related to the F34 error code. Provide them with your model number, year of manufacture, and any other symptoms for accurate diagnosis and recommended solutions.

Remember, safety first and consult your user manual or seek professional help for specific guidance, especially for advanced troubleshooting.

I hope this helps!
