Error codeF1 E1
ApplianceRange
On a Maytag range, F1 E1 is read as trouble with the oven control or the wiring attached to it. Maytag includes it in the range code list for the United States and Canada, with no series singled out.
One reset, in four moves
Begin by shutting off the range at its circuit breaker(s) and counting out a full minute. Throw the breaker(s) back on. For the following minute, stand by the oven and see whether the display brings F1 E1 back. Finish by making sure the oven works normally.
When F1 E1 stays
If the code keeps appearing after that reset, the owner steps are used up. The remaining move is to arrange a technician visit for the range.
Codes that read alike
Two neighbouring entries use the very same cause wording as F1 E1: F1 E0 and F1 E2. Another, F1 E5, also lists the oven control and its wiring. The F1 E9 entry differs by naming the appliance control board.
San Francisco Maytag range service
A Maytag range in San Francisco or anywhere in the Bay Area that holds on to F1 E1 can be booked through Maytag range repair at (415) 649-2156. Keep the code, the model number and what you have already tried within reach when you phone.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 E1 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 E1 points to a possible problem with the oven 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.
