What this code means
4D42
Cooling fan speed too high; there may be a problem with an airflow restriction, the Oven Cooling Fan, or the associated wiring.
What to try first
First, start by turning the circuit breaker(s) off. Count one (1) minute. Then, put the circuit breaker(s) back in the on position. Next, for one (1) minute, make sure the error code is gone. Last, see that the oven operates.
Where the problem may be
4D42 on a Maytag range means the cooling fan is running faster than it should. Maytag’s help article suggests an airflow restriction, the Oven Cooling Fan or related wiring may be involved.
A repeat of 4D42 after the reset means help is needed from service.
Codes easy to confuse with 4D42
4D41 (the matching fan speed code). 4D22 (another fan-related code). 4D21 (an Oven Cooling Fan code too).
