Error codeF7 E1
ApplianceRange
A door switch, or the wiring that connects it, is the likely subject when a Maytag range shows F7 E1.
Owner reset
Turn the range breaker off, wait a minute, then turn it back on.
Remain nearby for a minute and see whether F7 E1 reappears.
Run the oven briefly to be sure it functions.
When the code outlasts the reset, a technician should inspect the door switch and its wiring.
Next-door codes
F7 E0 is the code for the latch assembly on the same door. F7 E5 has nothing to do with the door and concerns the cooling fan.

Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F7 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.
