- The published condition is: water remains in the tub
- The affected function behaves as described by the manufacturer while F0E8 is present

## Causes or fault boundaries

- Published check — Check the external drain hose for kinks or blockage and arrange service if F0E8 remains after one safe drain attempt
- Stop at the published service boundary after these actions
- do not add a restart or test cycle that Maytag does not specify for F0E8
- Published check — Give service the F0E8 photo, full model and serial number, when it appeared, and the result of every published external check
- Stop at the published service boundary after these actions; do not add a restart or test cycle that Maytag does not specify for F0E8

## Evidence-backed actions
