- Error code
- F9Q1
- Appliance
- Microwave
Maytag says F9Q1 may mean a touch pad (user interface) or wiring problem. A breaker reset is the first step.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F9Q1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
F9Q1
F9Q1 means the microwave could not carry out the function; there may be a problem with the touch pad (user interface) or its wiring.
F9Q1 in brief
- Applies to: over-the-range Maytag microwaves.
- Meaning: the oven was unable to run the function; the touch pad (user interface) or associated wiring may be at fault.
Owner steps from Maytag
Power the unit down at the breaker(s) for one (1) minute, then power it up. Monitor the microwave for one (1) minute so you can tell whether F9Q1 reappears, and verify normal operation.
If the code stays
Book a technician; a touch pad problem is not an owner repair.
