Error codeF05
ApplianceRange
With F05 the oven door comes into question. Maytag’s help entry lists the door latch assembly, the door switch, and the wiring between them as the possible trouble.
Steps to try
Switch off the range’s breaker(s) for one minute.
Switch them back on.
Watch the oven for a minute to check that F05 stays away.
Verify oven operation.
The entry sits under ranges with no models. If F05 returns, ask for a technician.
