What error F9 E1 means:

• The washer detects that water isn't draining sufficiently from the drum.
• This could be due to various reasons, including:
  • Clogged drain hose: Debris like lint, coins, or hair can block the hose, preventing water flow.
  • Clogged drain filter: The filter trap inside the washer might be clogged with debris, restricting water drainage.
  • Improper drain hose installation: Faulty installation, such as the hose being kinked or positioned too high, can hinder drainage.
  • Faulty drain pump: In rare cases, the pump responsible for removing water might be malfunctioning.

Troubleshooting the F9 E1 error code in Maytag Washing Machine

1. Check the drain hose:
   • Disconnect the hose from the back of the washer and the wall drain.
   • Look for any blockages or kinks, and straighten or clean the hose if necessary.
2. Clean the drain filter:
   • Locate the drain filter according to your washer model's manual (usually behind a small panel at the bottom front).
   • Remove and clean the filter thoroughly with warm water and mild detergent.
3. Verify drain hose installation:
   • Ensure the hose isn't kinked or pinched anywhere.
   • Check that the end of the hose isn't positioned too high (usually no more than 36 inches from the floor).
4. Reset the washer:
   • Turn off the washer at the power outlet or circuit breaker.
   • Wait for one minute.
   • Turn the power back on and restart the washer.
5. Consult the user manual:
   • Your Maytag model's user manual might have specific troubleshooting instructions for the F9 E1 code. Refer to it for detailed guidance.

Additional things to remember:

• Do not bypass the drain filter or force the drainage process, as this can worsen the problem.
• If the above steps don't resolve the issue, contact Maytag customer support for further assistance. They can diagnose the problem and recommend repair options if needed.
• Remember, attempting to repair internal components like the drain pump yourself can be risky and void your warranty.
