Possible Causes
Failed main control board, power supply instability, loose UI-to-CCU harness, internal CCU fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before working on the control system.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in and try to enter a diagnostic mode (refer to tech sheet). If F70 returns immediately, suspect CCU.
- 2. Inspect CCU: Remove the top panel and examine the CCU for burnt components or corrosion.
- 3. Reseat harnesses: Unplug and reconnect all connectors to the CCU and UI boards.
- 4. Replace CCU: If the error persists and wiring is intact, replace the main control board with the correct Maytag part.
