maytag dishwasher F8-E4 error ( quick fix )

[@bonniesheckter976]

You saved me hundreds of dollars in not having to call in a dishwasher repair guy, thanks so much for posting this video and making it so user friendly! Worked totally like you said, the only worry now is wondering what caused the water to fill the drip pan, couldn’t see any obvious reason. I’m a 73 year old woman, if I could fix it, anyone could!

[@Alfetta158]

And this saved me hundreds of dollars in not having to call in a repair person, oh and then having to explain to my wife what I spent that money on!

[@vanroeling2930]

Wonderful video! I have my adult children and families over for Easter weekend and got the error messages. Your video saved me from an expensive service call and having to HAND WASH a ton of dishes!!!!!❤🎉😅😅

[@MonicaGreen-z8y]

At 6:30 am two days before Thanksgiving with a household growing by the day, the F8-E4 error signal appeared for the first time in our dishwasher's history. It was clear that the error signal had resulted from a slow drain in the garbage disposal but once that was easily resolved, how to get the dishwasher going again? Fortunately, a couple of internet searches brought me to your video. After hunting for the correct tools to remove the toe-kick (never knew that was its name!), and my son's assistance to extract the two screws, I was able to follow your very straightforward instructions to remove the drip pan, empty it of the accumulated water, and replace it. The dishwasher is now happily humming away and we are spared not only a lot of hand dishwashing but also an expensive appliance repair visit. THANK YOU!

[@victoriamitchell3865]

You are a Prince among men!!! Thank you! My husband would have done this but he is very ill. And I am having rotator cuff surgery next week…not a good time for the dishwasher to die. I think mine had excessive water because the drain needed to be cleaned out.😮 easy to follow and it now works!!!!

[@GetToThePointplz123]

So glad it helped you...hope you both heal fast

[@TheGuertzberg]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Where would we be today without GENEROUS people who take the time to teach and share their knowledge. Your video puts the Maytag “help” video to shame!

[@otisunderwood688]

After an hour of flipping breakers, taking apart both the drain lines and the fill lines….I found your video looking for answers. THANK YOU!! I would NEVER have guessed the float tripped the sensor. And you were correct, that was EXACTLY my issue. The drain pan was full of water (dry underneath??). I followed your directions and BOOM, back in business! Thanks again 👍🏻

[@richardbrown1867]

Same! Thank you so much!!!!!

[@kereyc5751]

There are two little overflow hoses that feed into that pan so it can still be dry underneath but wet in that overflow tray.

[@minirouge6825]

After a very stressful day, had to contend with this error and we were so tired and upset. This fix worked perfect. Can't tell you how much this meant that a like wasn't enough and I followed the send me a beer link haha cheers! 🍻

Wow, my 13 year old son and I just watched this video and fixed our dishwasher, so thankful for this tutorial!

[@GetToThePointplz123]

That's awesome

[@yagatov]

GREAT VIDEO! Our "leak" was due to using non-dishwasher soap, which produced heavy suds and water got into the drain pan. dried the pan, reassembled, ran short cycle: no leaks! Then put insulation and cover plates back. Thanks.

[@paulrockwood371]

Another person here to praise you for this video. Thank you man. Got home from work and my wife said she had made homemade soap and all the things in there she washed caused crazy bubbly suds. Dried everything out underneath and in the drip tray and back in action! You da man.

[@The_one_115]

God bless. This fixed my issue.. what caused this issue in the first place was... i used dawn dish soap... too much.. & it flooded the dishwasher... & i tried to Manually reset the dishwasher... but i couldn't find the Power so i've been looking for other solutions.. thank you so much.. this resolved my issue.. god 🙌🏿

[@cuchy69]

I want to take this opportunity to say hello and tell you that I followed your advice step by step. And it turned out to be spectacular. I want to thank you for being very clear and very professional in explaining. I am truly very grateful to you and now. My dishwasher works perfectly. Thank you very much, my friend. ❤🎉

[@hollykorbonski4624]

GOOD MORNING!! I just have to say THANK YOU for this video! When my dishwasher first crapped out and sent these two error messages, I called my usual guy who claims to be able to fix everything...He did some "investigating" and pronounced the situation beyond him and his crew. I found your video and it was BRILLIANT...I did exactly as you recommended and things are back working perfectly! I need to add that I'm a single working mom who is home with her two kids who are currently sick with COVID, so I was really motivated LOL. Oh, by the way, my coffee maker, which sits on the counter above the dishwasher, overflowed a couple of days ago and made an epic mess. When I pulled out the mechanism, it was full of brown liquid that I immediately realized was coffee. Serious, thank you SO much for saving me money and helping me feel accomplished!

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Oh no...glad you got it fixed 👍

[@bradlehrer3470]

I live on an island. The service tech is scheduled to come to my house 11 days from now. Followed your instructions. It reset itself like there never was an issue. Thank-you for a wonderful and helpful video. I was a little challenged stuffing the sound proofing back in. Got it done!

[@LT_GUAPO]

I agree. This helped me gain clarity on what to do. Problem solved 🎉🎉 🙏🏽

[@versantrealty1097]

You rock! Our sink overflowed and then without any apparent reason othe dishwasher started giving us this error. Unbeknownst to us the overflowing sink filled the dishwasher's drip pan. We couldn't figure out what was going on. We'd clear the code by using the cancel button, but it kept flashing the error. I did as you demonstrate in your video and had the problem fixed in a few minutes! WAY more useful than the info on the Maytag website. Their info was useless for me. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!! I owe you one!

[@savagemonkey123]

Awesome video. Had the code last night. I mixed up a dish soap bottle with dishwashing soap. The bottles looked the same and I grabbed it without my glasses on. Mistake on my part. Easy fix. And no beeping now. Our drip pan was filled with water. Probably from the overflow of suds.

[@GetToThePointplz123]

[@janeweeks1826]

You are my 'Hero' I needed someone to give instructions that 'GET to THE POINT' and this video you have made was the solution. Good job. Good video. Great communication. I did it myself after watching and now my dishwasher is doing dishes.Thank you.

[@donnavincent2004]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️🙏🏻 I have a KitchenAid and it was exactly the same solution. My problem was caused by spraying too much Dawn PowerWash on the dishes and not rinsing it off first. It caused too much sudsing. If I just spray a few items, no problem. But I sprayed way too much. No more! From now on I’ll always rinse after using that.

[@alexeverett2467]

Saved me so much time. Worked for my kitchenaid dishwasher after trying the error code tips on their website and was about to check all my lines when I found your video. Fixed the problem in 5 mins

[@clydepink]

That was brilliant. This was so much easier than trying to follow the manual. My hat is off to you.

Just bought this dishwasher a week ago and it had this code. I had to use an old hose for a clothes washer and I didn't get it tightened up enough 🤣. Your awesome.

[@Whudafxuplauren]

Thank you SO much for this!!! Just had this error today and was not looking forward to calling someone and pay out a couple hundred bucks! This whole thing took me maybe 15 minutes at most and my dishwasher is up and running again! Thank you!!!

[@BobRosenfeld]

I received the codes for the first time. I figured out what it was, which was a Miracle. When I was putting the dishes in the dishwasher there were some plates that I thought needed some spray cleaner which foamed up. I started hearing beeping and saw the error codes. I did what you said and it worked great. But to get the foam out of the dishwasher I used my shop vac. Thanks so much for your help to me, a guy who can barely tie his Shoes, lol.

[@TheJosephPatrick]

Super helpful! With the install of a brand new machine nearly completed, couldn’t figure out where the issue was in the 8 Pause, 4 Pause code. Turns out the float wasn’t activating. It was the one thing we hadn’t looked at. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Nice

[@macdaddybill]

Thanks much! Our 1-½ year old maytag just started beeping and my wife said she overflowed a pan of water on countertop and of course it found its way to the drip pan. Just cleaned out but saw some water dripping from ac connection box so going to let dry out over night before hooking back up.

[@joseemg1922]

I just flooded the countertop and my dishwasher stopped too with this code. Did your dishwasher start up the next day?

Condensation most likely, the pipes are directly above the drip tray to catch the condensation

[@aManOnaJourney]

Thank you for claring that a sensor (with wires) is inside the drip tray and showing how to disconnect the sensor.

[@kereyc5751]

Sweet, easy fix. Ran out of dish-washer soap so I idiotically put regular dish-washing soap in my machine knowing I shouldn't and of course it foamed up. I did not put very much but it was still enough to foam up enough to come out the front of the door and flood that little compartment.

[@GetToThePointplz123]

Oh no

[@jayring77]

There are two black hoses on each side of the door dropping down over the drip pan. That’s where the water comes from. I don’t installed my moms same model and it does the same thing. But not sure why or where those hoses go. She says it works fine in normal modes but any other heavy duty mode and it leaks setting off the alarm. We need to figure out why water comes out of those black tubes. I think it has to do with the level
