Identification
Error codes always appear on the LCD screen of the range. Depending on the model, the code will blink, remain still on the screen or be accompanied by loud beeps until you press a button or disconnect power from the range.
Types
Each code is known as a fault code and begins with an "F" followed by a corresponding number. The numbers range from "0" to "9" on the display.
Effects
Codes "F0," "F1," "F5," "F6," "F7," "F8" and "F9" are all various errors with the Maytag electronic range control, or ERC. The errors are various faults with the ERC and a replacement part is needed for the range.
Prevention/Solution
Errors for "F2," "F3" and "F4" have to do with the oven temperature sensor. Check the plug for the sensor, and if the problem persists, replace the sensor with a new one. Use your model number to find the proper sensor.
Considerations
If the range is fairly new and the parts malfunction, you should check your warranty to see whether the repair is covered. You can use the Maytag customer service website to call or email the company.
