Then i plugged it in and started to wash a load. Looked like it was working. It stopped after less than 2 minutes and Washer showed code F71, flashing. I tried to start it. No luck. There was water in machine. Door locked. I unplugged it again and plugged it in but this time no lights on at all but there is the chime when i push the power button.

After power outage that will happen do this to fix.
Select PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel the cycle. Select
DRAIN & SPIN if there is excessive water in the washer.
Re-select cycle and press START. If the problem remains, call

Maytag Neptune washing machine. After power outage my machine shows no power but outlet is ok?

Question edited for clarity.

When the power came back on, or when it went out, there was probably a brown out or voltage surge. You need a service visit. You can try and claim against the utility company for not regulating their power supply to you. Are you certain you have power at the outlets? It is odd that both would succumb to it, unless you were hit by lightning?

Affinity washer flashing EFO

Good Morning Friend,

I understand that your Frigidaire Affinity washer, model# ATF7000E, is flashing an EFO code. I do not show an EFO code for your appliance.

I do show an EF1 code, which means the drain pump is clogged. In this instance you would unclog the drain pump.

I also show an EF2 code, which means too much soap was used. All you would do for this would be to try using less soap.

It could also be a false error code. I suggest resetting your washer, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. When you restore power, start any cycle on your washer. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your washer status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Sony wega KE-42M1 .power lead ok . no power at tv. (no standby or power light showing at on switch). house power went off , when it came on tv wouldn't work

This confirms that the main power supply which is the SMPS is faulty.
The fuse could have failed and must be checked, if the fuse fails the SMPS is confirmed to be faulty due to the power outage.
please check the links below for tips and support:

VCR will not show picture or menu on TV after power outage.

Hate to say this, but when power outages occur, things like vcr's are the first thing to fry. But if you feel that the vcr is fine as far as powering up, then unplug it from the wall socket for 30 minutes or so, plug back in and see results.

Try unplugging the unit for 30 seconds then plug it back in. The power outage may have been erratic and the MW did not reset properly.
