- Appliance
- Microwave
The oven could not execute the function; there may be a problem with the relay control board or its wiring. Maytag recommends a one-minute power reset first.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1E1 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
F1E1
The oven could not execute the function; there may be a problem with the relay control board or its wiring.
Display meaning
The microwave displays F1 E1 after it fails to carry out a function. The help text points to the relay control board and the associated wiring. Expect this on over-the-range microwave models.
Power-down and restart
Maytag’s reset starts by powering the unit down at the breaker(s), for one (1) minute. After that, power the unit up by turning the breaker(s) on. For the following minute, monitor the microwave and make sure the code stays away. To finish, verify the unit operates.
Keep F1 E1 in mind when you call: if it returns after the reset, service is the next step.
