I have a Maytag MFW9600SQ0 front load washer that frequently displays the F05 error code about 3 minutes into the wash cycle, especially when using the cold water setting. I've seen suggestions online that it could be related to the door latch or water temperature sensor. When this happens, I usually stop the cycle, open and close the door, and restart it. Sometimes it works after one try, but other times it takes multiple attempts. We haven't made any repairs yet. Any advice on how to fix this issue?
The F05 error code is a common issue and can occur in various front-load washers, including your Maytag MFW9600SQ0. This error often relates to the water temperature sensor or the heating element, especially since you’ve noticed it happening when using the cold water setting.
