The oven could not execute the function; there may be a problem with the appliance control board or its wiring. Maytag recommends a one-minute power reset first.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F1E4 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
F1E4
The oven could not execute the function; there may be a problem with the appliance control board or its wiring.
What the display is saying
F1 E4 is reported when the unit is unable to execute a function. Maytag mentions the appliance control board and its associated wiring. It is documented for the over-the-range series only.
The reset, in Maytag’s order
To start, power down through the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute. Power up again by turning on the circuit breaker(s). Keep the display in view for one (1) minute while you see if the code is gone. The final step is to verify the microwave operates.
Should F1 E4 come back, the text recommends calling or scheduling service.
