Error codeF2E1
ApplianceRange
A key the control believes is being held down: that is the whole entry Maytag’s oven and range tech sheet gives for F2E1. It reads “stuck key”, and it concerns the keypad.
How the keypad listing reads
Maytag’s product help has a second, spaced entry, F2 E1. It says the trouble may lie in the user interface or keypad, in the control, or in the wiring that connects them. Its single suggestion is a power reset: cut power for one minute, restore it, then monitor whether the code comes back.
Steps in a sensible order
Look over the touch panel and keys for anything pressing on them.
Turn the range off at its breaker for one minute, switch it back on and watch the display.
If the code is still there, leave the keypad alone and arrange a visit.
Keep the range off at the breaker while the display keeps beeping or showing the code.

Maytag range service around the Bay Area
A stuck key message that survives the reset is a job for a technician, and Maytag range repair covers San Francisco and nearby Bay Area addresses. Ring (415) 649-2156 and quote F2E1 along with the range model number and the reset result.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F2E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
