Lost keypad link
When F6 E0 appears on a Maytag electric or induction cooktop, communication between the user interface (keypad) and the user interface control has been lost. The cooktop cannot read the keypad properly until that link is back.
Try the reset
Open the breaker(s) that feed the cooktop and leave them open for one minute.
Close the breaker(s).
For one minute, keep an eye on the display for the return of F6 E0.
Operate the cooktop and verify it works.
When it comes back
A returning code is for a technician. The keypad and its control are inside the cooktop.

F6 E4 has the same lost-communication meaning with a different sub-code.
San Francisco and Bay Area visits for cooktops are arranged through Maytag cooktop repair. Phone (415) 649-2156 and have F6 E0, the model number and the result of your breaker reset to hand.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F6 E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
