Error codeF8 E2
ApplianceRange
High fan speed message
F8 E2 tells you the cooling fan in a Maytag range is running faster than it should. The manufacturer says the oven cooling fan or the wiring connected to it may have a problem.
The listed reset
Switch the circuit breaker(s) off and keep them off for one minute.
Switch them on again.
Keep watching the oven for one minute to see that F8 E2 does not reappear.
Verify oven operation.
No change after the reset
When F8 E2 reappears, the next step is a technician visit.
Where else to look
F8 E0 is the matching low-speed code for the same fan.
For a range in San Francisco or elsewhere around the Bay that keeps flashing F8 E2, call (415) 649-2156. We describe our work on the Maytag range repair page. Have the code, the model number and the outcome of the breaker reset to hand.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F8 E2 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
Cooling fan speed is too high, which may point to the oven cooling fan or its 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.
