Reading F1 E9
A possible problem with the cooktop control or the wiring that goes with it is how Maytag explains F1 E9 on electric cooktops. No more specific cause is given.
The single owner action
Reset the power. Keep the cooktop’s breaker(s) off for a minute, put them back on, and spend a minute looking at the cooktop for the code. A cooktop that behaves normally afterwards needs nothing further, so verify that it operates.

San Francisco cooktop repair for F1 E9
Because the reset is the only owner step, a code that comes back needs a technician. We cover San Francisco and the Bay Area; call (415) 649-2156 or see Maytag cooktop repair. Write down F1 E9 and the model number before you call.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 E9 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
