My 2016 Maytag bravos XL MCT showing error code F5. Is this a simple fix?

Sometimes the door locks and I cannot open it. I need to unplug and wait a minute and then the door will unlock. This has been going on for 2 weeks and now, the machine won't work at all. After I turn it on, it just beeps and make the bell sounds. Thanks

SOURCE: Error code E1 -F5- Broil element comes on and wont shut off

I just did the self clean option and when it was done I received the error code E1 -F5- and it does have to do with the door latch. After turning off the power to the stove I was able to open the door and wiggled the latch and that solved the problem.......

There is a cord you can pull under the soap tray.

SOURCE: Maytag front loader washer--door won't open but lock light off

Open the soap dispenser. Look down in front of the fabric softener dish.
You should see a yellowy-green plastic cord (like weed-whacker line). Pull it.
The door should open.

If you don't see the cord, remove the four screws that hold the dispenser lid in place to find it. Just don't lose it when you put the cover back on.

SOURCE: Maytag Epic-Z F-28 error code

F28 is a misc error,
most of the time it is because the washer is NOT LEVEL.
1. Unplug waher,
2. Relevel washer. (make sure all legs are equally distributing weight, so as to ensure no shaking). See owner's manual.
3. Plug in, and use.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Maytag Bravos Steam dryer that reads service error code F1

F01 - There may be an internal problem with the control, attempt a Hard Reset.

Hard Reset - In some cases the control can be non-functioning or may not accept activation from the control panel. To clear and restart the control follow the these steps:

* Unplug or turn the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds.
* Reconnect the unit to the power source by turning the breaker back on or plugging the unit back into the wall outlet.
* Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the "PF" in the display.
* Start a short cycle to check the operation of the machine by selecting a cycle and pressing and holding the start button until the machine starts.

The F01 generally indicates a failed electronic machine control board.
This error code can sometimes be caused by a glitch or power surge through the electrical lines.
You may be able to clear this code by unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.
If the code returns after plugging the washer back in, then the electronic machine control board will need to be replaced.

The procedure for accessing and replacing this control board is shown in this image...

Be sure to unplug the washer before accessing internal components.
When you access the control board, I recommend transferring the wires from the old control board to the new replacement control board one connection at a time.
Once you have all of the wires transferred, remove the old control board and mount the new control board in the washer.
Reassemble and test the washer.

The "F01" error code indicates a communication error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the EEPROM onboard the CCU.
The "F01" can also be displayed if the onboard "Pump Driver" fails to activate.
Generally in order to correct this failure will require replacing the CCU.
There is no way to test and verify if the control board has failed.
The technical data sheet basically states to replace the CCU.

My GE top load washer model 110.27062603 will not run through a full cycle. Sometimes it washes, but 17 minutes showing, jumps to 2 minutes, then shuts off with 'OL' error code.

OL = Overloaded.

Is the Washer overloaded? If OL (overloaded) appears in display, the load too large. If an overload is detected, the washer will drain any water and detergent in the washer. Remove several items and add HE detergent.Feb 24, 2020

My Maytag BRAVOS MCT Serial #CY5170277 ModelMVWB750WQ0 has stopped mid cycle.

To retrieve error codes from your Maytag BRAVOS MCT washing machine, you can try the following steps:
  1. Make sure the washer is in standby mode (all lights off).
  2. Select any three buttons (except POWER) and follow the steps below, pressing the buttons in the following order within 8 seconds:
  • Press and release the 1st button
  • Press and release the 2nd button
  • Press and release the 3rd button
  • Repeat this sequence two more times (a total of 3 times)
  1. If the buttons are pressed in the correct sequence, all indicator lights will turn on for 5 seconds and then turn off except for the "lid lock" indicator.
  2. The washer will then start a diagnostic test cycle and the error codes will be displayed in the "Estimated Time Remaining" display.
Note: Make sure to write down any error codes displayed on the screen, as they will be helpful in troubleshooting the issue with your washer.
