Maytag giving f54 code

it may be any part of the balance mechanism under the machine..remember if you did not balance (level) it prior to installing, it has to self level on its own..this usually calls for some noise in the linkages when spinning..

if its loud in the spin cycle you have a bad tub bearing and your better off replacing the washer to much to repair

you may have something between the tubs or your bearing is going bad . does it sound like a jet plane in spin cycle?

It is detecting a high current load when trying to turn the tub. Lift the top of the washer by using a putty knife and insert it between the top and front panels about 3 inches from each side, push in the clip and lift the top. You will find a tech sheet glued to the inside of the front panel in a plastic bag. Go to page 3 and look up your error code, it will refer you to page 4, test #3. I explains how to test the motor assembly.

Hi,

When my washer did that, I found that the shocks that hold the tub were bad...

Check out this tip I wrote about the noise and vibration that front load washers can make..

Washer Problems Washer noise when spinning

Sorry, just as you explained bad news it sound like the bearing are giving out and would req an overhaul the possibilty of an very expensive repair.

if there is a full recall on it  which i doubt--maytag are obliged to replace it for you--but  anyway maytag will probably repair it for u foc--just make enough noise about it 

Check the water pump and see if anything is clogging it up.

The F54 fault code indicates that the control board senses high motor current.
This can be caused by excessive friction in the spin basket.
With the washer off, open the lid and see if the basket spins freely.
If not, you may need to remove the basket and check for an item stuck between the spin basket and the outer washer tub.
The second and third images show procedures for removing the basket on the Oasis washer depending on whether you have an impeller or agitator in your model.
If the basket spins okay, then you can follow the technical troubleshooting described in the first image.
This may help you determine the cause of your washer problem.
