F2 on a Maytag range typically points to an oven sensor or control communication fault.

Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
-
Confirm the range has stable power

Safety warning
Ranges combine gas and high voltage. Internal diagnostics must be handled by a qualified technician.
What not to attempt
- Do not open sealed gas components
- Do not access internal high-voltage wiring
- Do not bypass safety interlocks
When to call a technician
If F2 persists and oven heat is unreliable, book a diagnosis so the sensor and control can be evaluated safely.
Frequently asked questions
Often the burners still work, but avoid relying on the oven until the fault is diagnosed.
It may clear briefly, but a genuine sensor or control fault will return.
