What the F37 error code actually means

Your Maytag washer is detecting that the water level inside the tub is too low, or it cannot read the water level at all. This is usually caused by a small hose or sensor that measures the water level being blocked, kinked, or broken. The washer has stopped to avoid running without enough water, which could damage the machine.

Questions people ask about F37

What does F37 mean on a Maytag washer?
F37 means the water level sensor has detected a reading below the valid operating range. The washer uses a pressure sensor and a connected hose to monitor how much water is in the tub, and when that reading falls below the minimum threshold, the control board stops the cycle and displays F37. This is most commonly caused by a problem with the pressure sensor hose rather than the sensor itself.
Is it safe to keep using the washer when F37 appears?
No, you should not continue running the washer while F37 is active. The error indicates the machine cannot accurately detect its water level, which means it could run without sufficient water and potentially damage the motor, pump, or drum components. Resolve the underlying issue before resuming normal use.
Will resetting the washer clear the F37 error code?
Clearing the error code will remove the F37 display temporarily, but the code will return if the underlying cause has not been fixed. To clear the code, unplug the washer for a few minutes, then restore power. After clearing, run a diagnostic cycle to check whether the pressure sensor is functioning correctly before running a full wash load.
Can I fix the F37 error myself?
In many cases, yes. Start by unplugging the washer, then locate the pressure sensor hose and inspect it for kinks, cracks, or loose connections at either end. If the hose is simply kinked or disconnected, you can correct it without any parts or special tools. If the hose is damaged or the sensor itself has failed, replacing those components requires basic mechanical skill and the correct replacement parts.
How much does it cost to repair a Maytag washer showing F37?
If the fix is simply reconnecting or straightening the pressure hose, the repair can cost nothing beyond your time. A replacement pressure sensor hose typically runs in the range of $10 to $30 in parts. If the pressure sensor itself needs to be replaced, parts generally range from $20 to $60, plus labor if you use a technician. A full service call with labor can range from $100 to $250 depending on your location and the technician's rates.
