What this code means
F2E1
There may be a problem with the user interface / keypad or the associated wiring.
Reading the display
The code F2 E1 concerns the user interface / keypad. In the manufacturer text the trouble may be the keypad itself or the associated wiring. This is an over-the-range microwave display.
Resetting step by step
Turn the supply off at the circuit breaker(s) and hold it there for one (1) minute. Switch the breaker(s) back on afterwards. Check on the microwave over one (1) minute, looking for the code to reappear. Finally, verify microwave operation.
Maytag adds that F2 E1 returning means you may need a qualified technician.
