What a touchpad code means
F2Q1 is reported when the user interface, meaning the touchpad, or the wiring tied to it may have a problem. It is an over-the-range Maytag microwave code.
Reset sequence
Turn the circuit breaker off for exactly one minute.
Turn it on again so the microwave powers up.
Spend a minute checking that F2Q1 stays off the display.
Press a few functions and confirm the microwave runs normally.
If it returns after the reset
A returning F2Q1 means the next step is a technician visit, since the touchpad assembly and its connections need to be inspected on the unit.

F2: the keypad told the control board something was wrong.
Owners across San Francisco and the Bay Area can arrange Maytag microwave repair on (415) 649-2156. Keep the model number and the display code handy, and tell us how the reset went.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F2Q1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
