What this code means
F2H1
There may be a problem with the vent fan and light switch or the associated wiring.
Code overview
On an F2H1 display, Maytag suggests looking at the vent fan and light switch (lower left front side panel) and the associated wiring. The entry is for over-the-range models.
Reset sequence
First, take the power off at the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute. Return the breaker(s) to the on position. The microwave then needs one (1) minute of observation to ensure the code stays off. Finally, confirm the microwave is operating properly.
If the display still reads F2H1, assistance from a qualified technician may be needed.
