Hi and weclome to FixYa, I am Kelly
An F54 code is a motor over current fault. This is caused by a severe load on the motor or a bad motor bearing.
To remove the error press Pause/Cancel twice. Before removing the error.. try and find out why the motor is hard to turn. There may be an article of clothing stuck at the top of the inner tub or between the inner and outer tub. (
If the unit has previously had an ld code (long Drain) this can also cause high motor currents if the water level switch allows the washer to spin when not completely empty. Usually an ld code is associated with something stuck in the pump / pump inlet or possibly a bad pump.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly
I guess the information from the service manual was not what you wanted to hear FOR FREE. Call a service technician... and they will charge you $69.00 - $75.00 to tell you the same thing.... and charge you labor to remove whatever it is between the inner and outer tubs. I was just trying to save you the money by passing on my 40 + years of experience.
I grew up in a Maytag Franchise owned by my Father. This is who answered your question:

I just get frustrated by helping people that don't appreciate decades of knowledge and don't bother to take the time to explain why they are not happy with the facts while rating those facts and experience poorly.

F then 54 flashes when the machine/motor control detects high current for the
motor module.
Does basket turn freely? If not, determine cause of
friction.
