F1-9 in plain terms
The F1-9 entry on Maytag’s range help says there may be a problem with the oven control or the wiring around it. It is presented for ranges in the United States and Canada.
What the owner can do
Switch off the circuit breaker(s) and leave them off for a minute.
Switch them on again.
Look at the display for a minute, checking that F1-9 does not reappear.
Run the oven to confirm it operates.
An F1-9 that shows up after the reset is a reason to book a technician visit.

F1-7 is worded exactly like F1-9. F1-8 brings in the user interface or keypad as well, and F1-3 brings in the oven temperature sensor.
