Buy a good digital multimeter and learn how to use it. Here are the manuals you need to repair the machine: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8010163/How%20to%20use%20Test%20Equipment%20Service%20Manu al.pdf

According to this manual: (F-02 Error) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8010163/Maytag%20Epic%20Washer.pdf
1. Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running.
4. Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects.
5. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
6. If the above does not correct the problem, go to step 7.
7. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
8. Replace the pump.
It does not show an F-08 Error.
