Error codeF1 E5
ApplianceRange
F1 E5 has two descriptions on file for Maytag ranges. The product help entry, written for the United States and Canada, says the oven control or the associated wiring may be at fault. A Maytag service tech sheet for ovens and ranges lists the same code, spelled F1E5, as a sensor that is out of range.
What to try yourself
Switch off the circuit breaker(s) serving the range.
Give it one full minute with the power off.
Switch the breaker(s) on again.
Over the next minute, check the display to see if the code is back.
Confirm the oven operates.
If F1 E5 shows up once more, a technician visit is the next step.
F1 E7 instead points at the appliance control board.

Plain language
What this code means
F1 E5 points to a possible problem with the oven control or the associated wiring, and a service tech sheet lists it as a sensor out of range.
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.
