What F6E2 means

F6E2 is a washer reboot alert on Maytag top-load HE washers with an electronic control, from the Bravos era through models such as the MVWC565FW. The manufacturer says there may be an issue with the appliance control unit, the user interface or the wiring between them. Front-load MHW washers such as the MHW6630HC get no cause from the manufacturer for it, only a 5-minute power reset. The washer may restart itself or stop in mid-cycle.

Common causes of F6E2

  • The main control unit restarting on its own
  • The user interface and its connection
  • Wiring between the interface and the control
  • A momentary event on the front-loader that the reset clears
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Pull the plug and wait 5 minutes. 2. Plug the washer in again and start a short cycle. 3. Notice whether the washer restarts or the display goes blank. 4. If F6E2 returns, stop and call us, and do not take the console off.

! Why to stop there
  • A reboot can come from the power feed as well as the control, so we check the outlet and cord too
  • The alert names three areas on top-loaders, and only a test shows which one
  • Spending on a worn-out Bravos is your call, and we give you the facts to make it
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F6E2F6E2 questions
What is a reboot alert like F6E2?

The washer's control restarted or had trouble. On top-loaders the manufacturer names the control unit, the user interface or their wiring. That is why we test all three.

Does a front-loader mean the same thing?

No meaning is stated for the front-load version. The only step is a 5-minute power reset, so we examine the machine rather than assume a cause.

Can I stop it myself?

Try the power reset once, with the washer unplugged for the full 5 minutes. If F6E2 returns, call us and do not remove the console. You get a written price first, with a 30-day warranty on the repair.
