Flashing F is an error code; reset power and confirm cooling is on.
What a flashing F means
On Maytag side-by-side refrigerators, an F that blinks on the display counts as an error code. The manual names no cause.
Reset checklist
- Cut power: breaker(s) off, or pull the plug, for 1 minute.
- Restore power by switching the breaker(s) on or plugging in again.
- Check the cooling function is switched on.
- Monitor the unit for one minute.
An F that keeps flashing is the cue to schedule service.
