Error codeF1
ApplianceWall Oven
What F1 refers to
F1 shows up on wall ovens. Behind it the manual lists the oven temperature sensor, the control and the associated wiring, with the sensor as the cause it spells out. Take that as a possibility, not a diagnosis.
Possible solutions
Kill the circuit breaker(s) for one minute.
Turn the breaker(s) on again.
Use that next minute to see whether F1 returns.
Confirm the oven runs.
Where to go next
An F1 that outlasts the reset is a job for a technician.
A technician can look at your Maytag oven; call (415) 649-2156 from San Francisco or anywhere around the Bay, and read Maytag wall oven repair. It helps to know the code, the model number and whether the power reset changed anything.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 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 is listed for wall ovens and points to a possible problem with 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.
