Error codeF1-8
ApplianceRange
Maytag ties F1-8 to the oven control, the user interface or keypad, or the wiring that goes with them. It is listed for ranges sold in the United States and Canada, and no series is singled out.
Try this reset first
Turn off the circuit breaker(s) for the range. Hold the power off for one minute. Restore power by turning the breaker(s) on, then spend a minute near the oven to see if F1-8 is displayed again. Finish by checking that the oven operates.
After the reset
If F1-8 is back, a technician visit is the next step.
Closely related codes
F1-5 lists the same three parts, control, keypad and wiring.
F1-2 goes with the oven temperature sensor rather than the keypad.
Range service for San Francisco and the Bay Area
A Maytag range showing F1-8 anywhere around San Francisco can be booked through Maytag range repair, (415) 649-2156. Have ready the F1-8 code, the model number, and a note that you turned the breaker off for a minute.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1-8 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
