What this code means
F36, F37
A possible induction coil temperature sensor or touch control communication problem.
F36 shows on more than one kind of Maytag cooktop; F37 belongs to the induction models.
- Induction cooktop (F36, F37): a temperature sensor on an induction coil may be at fault.
- Radiant element cooktop (F36): the touch control module may have lost communication with the electronic control.
Owner steps
Begin by killing power: breaker(s) off, one minute. Put the breaker(s) back in the on position. Let the cooktop run and monitor it for one minute for any repeat of F36. The last check is whether the cooktop operates properly.
Once F36 returns despite the reset, hand it to a technician.
