 Yesterday I was washing bedding, I had two mattress pads in the washer and when I returned, the machine had stopped with in the wash portion. Plenty of water in the tub and flashing F-27.
I pressed cancel and then did a drain and spin and reset the cycle and everything finished as usual.
Can anyone tell me what the F-27 code is? Was it something that just glitched. or should I be watching for a failure coming up?

Hey Iheartmaytag
It makes me a little nervous when error codes start popping up...(the first year of owning it (still under warranty)........I guess because the error code F dl and its resolution didn't apply. I was getting F dl......Which told the tech that it was the door latch.......Right? So he ordered the door latch........put it in........Same thing.......F dl......So ultimately the problem was the control board.....NOT the door latch. They had to order a new board and put it in.......In the meantime I had read somewhere (can't remember where) that anyone who has any sensitive electronics should always keep them plugged into a surge protector.........WHICH......I had not done up to that point....So once the new board (I honesty can't remember if it was the CCU or MCU )was put in, I've kept the Duet washer plugged into a surge protector and haven't had an error code at all in five years..Not sure if that's the reason .......I still have the extra door latch that the tech brought and its up in my attic since that wasn't the problem.
Hopefully that's not your issue. | ||

Tangential to topic, but what is it with these electronic control modules (ECM)? Washing machine is such a simple application I could design it from scratch and I'm an engineering AUDITOR not a designer. Yet there are these chronic reports of ECM failure, not only in washing machines but in air conditioners too. Is it just cutcorner 21st-century engineering?

By any chance have you pulled out the service info that is usually packed in the base of the machine? My Duet had it sealed in plastic on the right side and it explains every error code and what the problem and possible solution is. Perhaps the Maytag has the same type of info. | ||

I do have the machine plugged into a surge protector, and have had since day one.
I did open the front and checked the button catcher. It was clear. I have washed several loads since then and no problems, hopefully it was just a glitch, since the machine is just past a year old it is out of original warranty, but I did purchase the extended warranty because I didn't trust it. Thanks everyone for your input. | ||

That's Great to hear. I hope it was a glitch..........I remember when mine started doing the F dl error...........I would unplug the machine.......wait a few min's, plug it back it.........and I thought everything was back to normal when several loads (10 to 15) would go through fine, then all of the sudden.....F DL again......It was very annoying.........and it happened at the ONE year mark......They replaced the board.........and five years later I've been lucky I guess........
I didn't know if you had your machine plugged into a surge protector.......Maybe it's not the board..........Let us know if anything else happens..... Thanks :) | ||
