Maytag Washer Error Code E563

E563 means the washer attempted to read data from a USB flash drive and the import operation failed. The control board could not successfully complete the data transfer from the drive. This code is directly tied to the USB import process and does not indicate a problem with the wash cycle components or motor system.

A reset alone is unlikely to permanently clear E563 because the error is caused by a specific failed read operation tied to the USB drive or its contents. The underlying issue with the drive or port must be resolved first. Once a successful import is completed, the error should no longer reappear.

If the problem is only the USB flash drive, the cost is minimal, typically just the price of a replacement drive ranging from a few dollars to around twenty dollars. If the main control board's USB interface is faulty and the board requires replacement, repair costs can range from roughly one hundred fifty dollars to over three hundred dollars depending on parts and labor.

Start by removing the USB drive and checking that it is properly formatted and contains the correct files in the expected structure. Reinsert the drive firmly to ensure a solid connection and retry the import. If the error persists, try a different USB flash drive. If multiple drives fail, the USB interface on the control board may need to be inspected.

The E563 code is related to a USB data import function and does not indicate a fault in the core wash, spin, or drain systems. In most cases, normal wash cycles are not affected by this error. However, if the import was intended to apply a firmware update or critical configuration, it is best to resolve the error before continuing regular use.
