Error codeF1-2
ApplianceRange
If your Maytag range shows F1-2, Maytag’s guidance names three candidates: the oven temperature sensor, the control, and the wiring between them. It applies to ranges in the United States and Canada.
Reset, step by step
Find the circuit breaker(s) for the range and flip them off.
Let the range sit without power for one minute.
Flip the breaker(s) back on.
Spend the next minute at the oven, watching for F1-2 to reappear.
Last, verify the oven works.
What it means if F1-2 comes back
A returning code means the owner steps have run out, and a technician visit should be arranged.
San Francisco and Bay Area customers can book Maytag range repair by calling (415) 649-2156. Give us the F1-2 code, the model number, and a quick account of the power reset.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1-2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F1-2 points to a possible problem with the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the associated wiring.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
