My Maytag 300 quite series has a code F51 what does this mean?

find out what the code means first off the manufactures website by downloading the user manual and checking the trouble shooting guide first eric

Code F51 means there is a problem with the Rotor Position Sensor. This could be something as minor as a bad plug connection. However, there have been many cases of socks or other small garments being flung over the top of the tub rim and getting caught between the metal tub and the plastic tub which contains the water. The "errant" clothing keeps the tub from returning to it's original position thus preventing the Position Sensor from aligning.

I know about what you are describing. I did this job a few years ago, and as the machine gets older it becomes harder to repair. You probably have water leaking which will cause rust. If you were to do this job yourself you can find the parts on-line for under $100.00 dollars. But because you are planning on having the job done by a repairman the price sounds reasonable. Good Luck Friend.

F-51 RPS senses rotation when basket ought to be stopped.
It is probably loose or worn out.

Hi,
F51 means you have a rotery positioning sensor error or (RPS sensor) This is clipped onto the top of the stater motor and means you will have to replace the RPS sensor if the tub is spinning smoothly by hand.
