F1-A and the oven door
Different from the control-related F1 codes, F1-A is about the door. Maytag says the trouble may lie with the oven door latch, the door lock switch, or the associated wiring. The code is listed for Maytag ranges in the United States and Canada.
Reset sequence
At the circuit breaker(s), shut the range’s power off for a minute.
Switch the breaker(s) on.
Stay with the oven a further minute and see whether F1-A returns.
Make sure the oven operates.
If F1-A is back after that, the next step is a technician visit.

F1-C carries the identical door latch and lock switch wording.
F1-E sits in the same F1 family but concerns the oven control.
Our team serving San Francisco and the Bay Area handles Maytag range calls at (415) 649-2156; details are on Maytag range repair. Have F1-A, the model number and your reset attempt ready.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1-A 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-A points to a possible problem with the oven door latch, the door lock switch, 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.
