What this code means
FC LF
FC LF may mean a problem with the left front hotplate or the associated wiring.
FC LF in plain terms
Maytag’s electric and induction cooktops use FC LF to point at the left front hotplate. The help text names two possibilities: the cooking surface, burner or element itself, or the wiring that belongs to it.
Maytag’s reset
Power the cooktop down at the circuit breaker(s) and wait one (1) minute. Power it back up. Then monitor the cooktop for a minute to confirm the error does not display again, and verify that it operates.
