Most searched Maytag washer codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 5D | Suds detected — Maytag's segmented-display rendering of the Sd suds code. |
| CL | Control Lock / Child Lock status on Maytag washers — the panel is locked (not a fault). Maytag also uses CL-family prompts around its cleaning cycle on some models; in both cases it is a status, not an error. |
| E01 | The E-half of a Maytag F-code pairing (e.g. F9E1 drain, F8E1 fill, F5E1/E2 lock family) — E01 alone is incomplete; capture the F-half from the alternating display. |
| E3 | Platform-specific Maytag code — on Maytag's older/legacy platforms E3 appears in motor/drive and sensor contexts depending on the model generation; it is NOT one of the current F-code system's core codes, so the model's own tech sheet defines it. |
| LD | Long Drain — the washer is draining too slowly (Maytag top-load rendering; sibling of ND). |
| ND | No Drain — the washer is not draining (Maytag legacy/top-load rendering of the drain fault). |
| UL | Unbalanced load — the washer can't balance the load for spin (Maytag top-load). |
| XL | Not a Maytag fault code — XL is a capacity/model designation (extra-large tub) on Maytag washers, sometimes mistaken for an error when a cycle stops for another reason. |
