Display shows PE or a power/voltage error; refrigerator may not cool properly or may reset intermittently.

Warning: Do not open the control compartment or work on live electrical circuits unless you are trained and the unit is unplugged.

• Check outlet: Plug a lamp or small appliance into the same outlet to confirm stable power. If the lamp flickers, contact an electrician.
• Inspect power cord: Unplug the refrigerator and inspect the cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Ensure the plug fits snugly in the outlet.
• Avoid extension cords: Maytag refrigerators should be plugged directly into a grounded wall outlet.
• Reset control: Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug back in. Allow 5–10 minutes for the control to reboot and check if the PE code returns.

If the PE code reappears or the unit continues to reset, the main control board or power supply circuitry likely needs professional diagnosis and replacement.
