Maytag Washer Error Code T-10

The T-10 code on a Maytag washer means the cycle advance function is currently disabled. This feature is used during diagnostic testing to manually step through wash cycle stages. The code is a notification about a control setting, not a component failure. Re-enabling the cycle advance function through the control panel is the recommended first step.

The T-10 code relates to a diagnostic control setting and does not indicate a safety hazard or a failure in components like the motor, pump, or heating element. The washer may still be able to run normal cycles depending on the model. However, it is best to resolve the code before continuing use to ensure the control system is functioning as intended.

In most cases, resolving the T-10 code costs nothing because it only requires re-enabling a control setting, not replacing parts. If the control board is found to be faulty and unable to retain settings, board replacement costs typically range from $150 to $350 or more depending on labor and the specific part. A diagnostic service call from a technician generally runs $75 to $150.

To fix the T-10 error, you need to enable the cycle advance function using the appropriate button sequence on your washer's control panel. Consult the diagnostic instructions specific to your Maytag model, as the exact sequence can vary. Once the function is re-enabled, the code should clear and normal operation can resume.

A simple power reset may not clear the T-10 code because the issue is a disabled control setting rather than a temporary fault. The correct resolution is to actively re-enable the cycle advance function through the control panel. If the code returns after enabling the function, the control board may need further inspection.
