Maytag Cooktop F2 E1 Error Code

What F2 E1 may indicate

Maytag says there may be a problem with the cooktop control, or with the wiring tied to it. Before anything else, it asks whether the keys need cleaning.

Clean the keys

Contamination such as food or water residue on the keys may hinder the controls’ responsiveness. Scrub the key area well using soap and water and dry it off with a microfiber towel. Engage the Key lock first; that way nothing can turn on by accident mid-clean.

Then cycle the breaker

1. Once the keys are dry, shut the cooktop’s breaker off at the panel for one minute.
2. Turn that breaker on again.
3. After a minute, confirm that the code has gone.
4. Test that the cooktop operates.
