Thank you for your inquiry about our Maytag appliances. For model MDB4949SKZ: Was the dishwasher newly installed? If you are receiving the F8E4 error code and the dishwasher was recently installed, check the following: https://youtu.be/OlND4BsYYaM Do you see water? Is the water supply connected correctly? Check all the connection points. Be sure the rubber washer is properly seated in the fitting for any connection point. Slide the 3/4" (19 mm) fitting of the 90° elbow up to the valve and hand-tighten it to avoid cross-threading. Hand-tighten until the coupling is tight. Using pliers, check the tightness of the coupling. An additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn may be required to seal the rubber gasket. Make sure to route the fill hose out the rear left side of the unit. https://youtu.be/FP0981p6Fl8 Is the float switch connected? Ensure the float switch is properly connected. Also, ensure that the power supply wire or cord does not touch the dishwasher motor or the lower part of the dishwasher tub. Reconnect the float switch by aligning the connector with the connector housing and pushing in until the locking tab is visible over the back of the connector. Does the drip tray need to be emptied? If you see water in the drip tray, it must be emptied. To remove the drip pan assembly, press the snap at each side of the plastic tray in toward the center of the product and pull toward yourself. Take caution not to pull too far or too hard as the float switch wire is still connected at this time and pulling too far or hard can damage the wire. https://youtu.be/t5_g-zSnw9Q Remove the Code To remove the code: Press the Cancel key once to silence the alarm tone. Press the Cancel key again to clear the code. Are there excessive suds? Dishwashing detergent does not create suds, but dish soap does. If suds, bubbles, or soap foam are present when you open your dishwasher, turn off the dishwasher and allow suds to dissipate. Using the wrong type or too much detergent can cause over-sudsing. The suds may push water out of the dishwasher, causing leaking or poor wash performance. Use only detergent specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. Dishwashers should be cleaned approximately every 30 days for optimal performance. Using affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner every month will help keep your dishwasher from filming and spotting and keep the interior clean and free of odors. https://youtu.be/yL_3IevWR-8 Dishwasher was Professionally Installed - F8E4 Error Code The drain sequence will begin, and machine operation will be prevented Turn off the water supply to the unit.
