Error codeF1-H
ApplianceRange
F1-H: three possible sources
Maytag attaches F1-H to ranges and names three places to look: the oven temperature sensor, the control, and the wiring between them. No model is singled out.
Power reset for F1-H
Find the breaker that supplies the range and turn it off.
Leave it that way for sixty seconds.
Turn it back on.
Keep an eye on the display for around a minute to see whether F1-H shows again.
Start the oven and make sure it operates.
If the oven still acts up
With the code still present and the oven misbehaving after the reset, the sensor, control or wiring should be examined by a technician. That is the step Maytag lists.
Related range codes
F1-L: the same three-part sensor, control and wiring description.
F1-E: oven control and wiring only, with no sensor mentioned.
F1E5: listed on a tech sheet as a sensor out of range.
Bay Area oven service
Sensor and control faults on a Maytag range are part of Maytag range repair for homes in San Francisco and around the Bay. Phone (415) 649-2156 with the range’s model number, F1-H as shown on the display, and a note on whether the breaker reset changed anything.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1-H 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-H suggests a possible fault in the oven temperature sensor, the control or the 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.
