Maytag Washing Machine F0E8 Error Code
Residual water ring left in tub
What this error means
F0E8 means too much water remains after the previous cycle. The control sees a water ring at the tub perimeter and blocks a new wash until the tub drains to the expected low level.
Common causes
- Partial drain from a prior F9E1 long-drain event
- Drain hose inserted more than 4.5 inches into the standpipe causing poor flow
- Standpipe below 39 inches or above 96 inches from the floor
- Clogged coin trap or pump filter slowing extraction
Step-by-step fixes
- 1Run Drain & Spin before starting the next wash
- 2Reposition the drain hose with an air gap at the standpipe
- 3Tip back safely after unplugging and clear the pump filter on accessible models
- 4Verify the household standpipe drains quickly when filled from a bucket
When to call a technician
Standing water after Drain & Spin with a clear hose and filter points to a failed drain pump.
