Error codeF43
ApplianceCooktop
The code F43 on a Maytag electric or induction cooktop is worded by Maytag as a possible problem with the cooktop power control board, or with the wiring connected to it.
Before calling
Do this once and then judge the result:
Cut power with the cooktop’s circuit breaker(s) and allow a minute to pass.
Restore the breaker(s).
Give the display one minute to see whether F43 reappears.
Test the cooktop to make sure it works normally.
What a repeat means
If F43 is back, stop resetting. Board and wiring faults need a technician.
Related codes
F42: another power control board and wiring message.
F47: the board, the touchpad or wiring may be involved.
F6 E0: the keypad has lost communication with its control.
