What this code means
F2Q1
There may be a problem with the user interface (touchpad) or the associated wiring.
Understanding the code
The touchpad is the focus of F2Q1: Maytag says the user interface (touchpad) or the associated wiring may be the problem. Maytag documents it for over-the-range microwaves.
How to reset
Set the circuit breaker(s) to off for one (1) minute. Once the minute is up, turn the breaker(s) back on. Allow one (1) minute of monitoring so the code does not show again. Close out by verifying that operation is normal.
A repeat of F2Q1 is your cue to call for help from a qualified technician.
