For Front-Load Maytag Washing Machines:

The F8 E2 error code typically indicates a problem with the detergent dispenser system. This could be due to:

• Clogged dispenser drawer: 
  • Laundry residue buildup can prevent the detergent from flowing properly.
• Incorrect detergent: 
  • Using non-HE detergent in an HE washer can create excessive suds and block the dispenser.
• Faulty dispenser component: 
  • There might be an issue with the dispenser itself, requiring repair or replacement.

Here are some troubleshooting steps:

1. Clean the dispenser drawer: Remove the drawer and wash it thoroughly with warm water and mild detergent.
2. Check for clogs: Inspect the dispenser opening and hoses for any obstructions.
3. Use HE detergent: Ensure you're using the correct type of detergent for your washer model.
4. Reset the washer: Unplug the washer for a minute and then plug it back in to see if the error clears.
5. Contact Maytag Support: If the issue persists, consult Maytag customer support for further assistance.

For Top-Load Maytag Washing Machines:

The F8 E2 error code could signify a bulk dispenser issue. This means the bulk detergent dispenser might not be functioning correctly.

Here's what you can do:

1. Check the bulk dispenser: Ensure it's properly inserted and filled with the correct amount of detergent.
2. Try manual dosing: If the bulk dispenser fails, consider adding detergent manually to the wash cycle.
3. Reset the washer: Follow the same steps described for front-load models.
4. Contact Maytag Support: Seek help from Maytag if the error persists.

Additional Tips:

• Refer to your Maytag washing machine user manual for specific troubleshooting instructions related to your model and error code.
• Provide details like your washer model number when contacting Maytag support for better assistance.
• Remember, attempting to repair complex issues yourself can be risky and void your warranty.
