What F5 means on a Maytag wall oven and how to reset it.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F5 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
F5
There may be a problem with the Oven Door Latch Assembly, Door Latch Switches, or the associated wiring.
On a Maytag wall oven, F5 signals a fault the oven has found.
First, a power reset
Try the power reset below:
- Switch the oven’s circuit breaker(s) off and leave them off for one minute.
- Close the breaker(s) again so the oven has power.
- Spend one minute monitoring the oven so you know the code is gone.
- Verify oven operation once it is up.
A code that survives the reset is one to take to service, as the help advises.
About F5
