Error codeF0 / F00
ApplianceCooktop
What the code is saying
F0 and F00 appear on both electric and induction Maytag cooktops. The cause Maytag gives is on the surface, not inside: an object, a liquid or soil is pressing on the control panel.
Four steps in Maytag’s order
Step
Action
1
Remove whatever has been left on the control area.
2
Wipe away debris from the face of the control panel.
3
Cut power at the circuit breaker(s) for a minute, then restore it.
4
Keep watching for a minute to confirm the code stays away, and verify operation.
Codes with a similar ending
F0 E4: starts with F0 as well, and is handled with a power reset
F2 E1: dirt on the keys, followed by a breaker reset
Service for a Maytag cooktop in San Francisco
A clean panel and a code that still returns after the reset call for a technician visit. Dial (415) 649-2156 for the San Francisco Bay Area, or see Maytag cooktop repair. Say whether the display showed F0 or F00 and have the model number ready.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F0 / F00 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
