Maytag Washer Error Code E43

E43 means the voltage range selected in the washer's Configuration Menu does not match the voltage rating shown on the appliance's data plate. This is a configuration mismatch, not a hardware failure. It is resolved by accessing the Configuration Menu and selecting the voltage range that matches the data plate on your specific unit.

The washer will typically not operate normally while E43 is active, as the error is intended to prevent the machine from running under a mismatched electrical configuration. Correct the voltage setting in the Configuration Menu before attempting to run a cycle. Do not attempt to bypass this error, as operating with incorrect configuration parameters could affect the control electronics.

If the fix only requires correcting the Configuration Menu setting, the cost is limited to labor time, typically in the range of $50 to $100 for a service call, with no parts needed. If a control board replacement is required because the board cannot retain configuration settings, parts and labor combined can range from $200 to $400 or more depending on the model and service provider.

Locate the data plate on your washer, usually found on or inside the door frame, and note the voltage rating. Access the Configuration Menu on the control panel and select the voltage range that matches the data plate exactly. Once the correct setting is saved, the error should clear. If the error returns after setting the correct voltage, the control board may require further inspection.

A simple power reset will not clear E43 because the error is caused by an incorrect setting stored in the Configuration Menu, not a temporary fault. The voltage range setting must be corrected in the Configuration Menu to resolve the error. If the setting is corrected and the error reappears after a power cycle, the control board may not be retaining settings properly.
