Over-the-range Maytag microwaves can show F9Q. Maytag asks owners to cycle the breaker for one minute.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F9Q 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
F9Q
F9Q on an over-the-range Maytag microwave is answered with a one-minute power reset; if it returns, service is the next step.
What Maytag says to do about F9Q
Owners of an over-the-range Maytag microwave who see F9Q are told to cut power at the breaker panel, wait one (1) minute, and restore it. After that, keep an eye on the display for another one (1) minute. Then try the microwave to be sure it operates.
When the reset does not clear it
No further steps for F9Q are listed in the Maytag help, so a repeat of the code means it is time to book a technician.
