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.
