What F9 E1
actually means.
On a Maytag, F9 E1 flags a drain that ran past its time limit. The hose installation is the manufacturer's first suspect: the drain hose comes shaped for the standpipe from the factory, and a reshaped, taped or kinked hose can siphon or slow the flow.

What to do when F9 E1 shows on the washerKind of codeDrain
The washer tried to empty the tub and the water level did not drop in time. A sock or a coin in the pump filter, a kinked drain hose or a blocked standpipe is ruled out before the pump itself.

Water left in the drum and clothes that come out soaked, traced to the pump filter, the pump, or the hose and standpipe behind it.

Water stays in the tub after the cycle ends, or the washer stops before the spin with the drum still full.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Maytag's own guidance for F9 E1 on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Leave the factory drain hose form as it came and do not tape the hose into the pipe.
Straighten the hose and clear any clog in the standpipe or laundry sink.
Run Drain & Spin; if F9 E1 comes back with the hose correct, book a visit.
What not to do
F9 E1 does not mean water is leaking. It is about the time it takes to empty the tub, and a siphoning hose can even pull water out while the washer is still filling.
