What the appliance detected
Detected condition
Maytag says the home outlet or appliance electrical connection may be miswired; certain power disturbances or keypad input during power-up can also produce the display.
What may contribute
Possible causes
- A miswired home outlet or electrical connection to the appliance.
- Power-line noise during an outage that the control detected as incorrect voltage.
- A key pressed before the documented ten-second delay during power-up.
Start conservatively
Safe preliminary checks
Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.
Record the display, model, and timing
- Photograph the complete code, including its order and spacing.
- Record the full model number and whether the code followed installation, an outage, or keypad use during power-up.
Escalate possible installation faults
- If installation was recent or miswiring is possible, stop using the appliance and have a qualified electrician verify the electrical supply.
- Do not reset a breaker merely to override a possible wiring fault.
Use one reset only after supply concerns are excluded
- If the exact model guidance permits and no installation or supply concern remains, switch the supplying breaker or fuse off for one minute, restore it, and monitor for one minute.
- If the code returns, stop and request service rather than repeating the reset.
Actions not recommended
- Do not open an outlet, junction box, terminal block, power-cord connection, control, or appliance panel.
- Do not test voltage, continuity, resistance, or energized wiring, and do not rewire the appliance.
- Do not continue using the appliance if there is smoke, arcing, burning odor, abnormal heat, or repeated breaker trips.
When to stop and request service
- Use a qualified electrician when installation is recent or the outlet/supply connection may be wrong.
- Request appliance service if the electrical supply has been professionally verified and the code remains or returns.
- Seek urgent help for smoke, sparks, burning odor, uncontrolled heating, visible wiring damage, or repeated breaker trips.
