After losing their opening four matches in the Premier League, Sean Dyche’s side are off the mark for the season but will have to wait for their first three points.
Iliman Ndiaye gave Everton the lead in the 11th minute as he turned to create space in the box before slotting the ball into the net with such precision it ricocheted in off the left post.
Leicester’s response came with 17 minutes left on the clock as Mavididi reacted first to sweep home from Harry Winks' corner off the right.
Everton are up to 19th in the table on goal difference, while the Foxes sit in 15th.
The torrential rain in Leicester nearly helped the hosts to a goal in the 35th minute as Mavididi unintentionally tested Jordan Pickford with a wayward cross, but the goalkeeper managed to keep it out.
