Maytag cooktop code F2 E1 may come from dirty keys or a control or wiring problem. Clean first, then reset power.

What this code means
F2 E1
The cooktop control or its wiring may have a problem.
F2 E1 in plain terms
Maytag says the problem may sit with the cooktop control or the wiring attached to it.
Try the cleaning step
- Food, water or other build-up on the keys can make the controls respond poorly.
- Wash the keys well with soap and water, then dry with a microfiber towel.
- Turn on the Key lock before cleaning so nothing switches on accidentally.
Then the breaker reset
Shut the circuit breaker(s) off for one minute and turn them on. Keep watching the cooktop for one minute to confirm the error code stays off, and verify operation.
