Hi, What does a F20 error mean on a maytag 3000 series?

ask MAYTAG just like we would (GOOGLE)

Possibly pressure switch is bad or pressure tube is blocked.

F20 means that the unit isn't detecting water is entering the machine quick enough. When the error code appears if there is little to no water in the tub, then you have an issue with either the water supply to the washing machine or the electronic water valve. If the washing machine fills up about 1/2 way up the door and is overfilling with the water, it means that your pressure switch is faulty and will need to be replaced because it's not detecting that water is entering the machine.

The F20 code usually means a washer fill problem. It could be low water pressure or no water pressure. Check that your water valves are open on both the hot and cold inlets. Check the hoses for kinks or damage that interrupts the water flow. Check for debris in the inlet filters and clean the filters. Some anti-flood hoses can close their internal valve if the water pressure builds up. This could cause the machine to see no water pressure. What is your water pressure (it should be above 10 psi)? If you have a water well, this could could give low water pressure to the washer and trigger the error.

Replace the hoses if needed. If you have a High Efficiency washer, make sure to use HE detergent. Excess suds could cause the incoming water flow to be judged as low.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

"F20" indicates a water inlet problem (no water or insufficient water supply) in your washer. To resolve this issue check your washer inlets, maybe the water valves are off or you don't have enough water pressure.

Thank you!!

need the correct model # and ser # _ _ _ 3000 _ _ _ _ this tell us age and and fault codes . now inside the machine / you will find a tec sheet with the codes . this may be quicker .. mm

troubleshooting with the F20code what it says in the trouble shooting section:

Ff20 (water inlet problem, no water or insufficient water supply)

Select stop twice to cancel the cycle. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Check the following:

Are water faucets completely turned on?

Are screens at inlet hose connection to washer clogged?

Are water inlet hoses kinked?

Are water inlet hoses frozen?

Plug in washer. Re select cycle and press start.

you have every right to be frustrated. Maytag is actually one of the best when it comes to reliability so hopefully, once it is fixed you will not have a problem again for a very long time.

I recommend that you file a formal complaint with Maytag. Here is the link to the formal complaint form
