Error code4D42
ApplianceWall Oven
What a 4D42 display tells you
A Maytag wall oven that flashes 4D42 is reporting a cooling fan speed that is too high. The help entry names an airflow restriction, the oven cooling fan and the wiring as the places a fault may sit.
Power reset
Turn off the circuit breaker(s) for the oven; one minute off.
Turn the breaker(s) on and the oven is powered again.
Observe for a minute whether the code reappears.
Test that the oven operates properly.
If 4D42 returns after that minute, schedule a technician; airflow, fan and wiring checks are theirs to do.
4D52: not a fan code at all, it concerns the door latch.

Plain language
What this code means
The 4D42 code is described as a cooling fan speed that is too high, possibly from airflow restriction, the fan, or wiring.
