The F6 E1 error code on your Maytag MDB8959SKZ dishwasher indicates a communication error between the user interface control board and the main control board. This can be caused by a variety of issues, such as a loose wire connection, a faulty control board, or a problem with the keypad.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Turn off the dishwasher: Turn off the dishwasher and unplug it from the power source for at least five minutes.

Check the wiring: Inspect the wiring connections between the user interface control board and the main control board. Make sure all connections are secure and tight.

Reset the control boards: After checking the wiring, reconnect the power and turn on the dishwasher. If the error code persists, try resetting both the user interface control board and the main control board.

Contact customer support: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact Maytag customer support for assistance. They can help you diagnose and fix the problem, or schedule a service appointment if needed.
