Maytag Oven Error Code F-12

F-12 indicates an under-current condition in one of the induction cooktop coils, classified as a Type 1 failure affecting only a single burner. The Induction Power Control board has detected that current through the coil circuit is below the expected level. This can result from a loose wire connection at the IPC board, a damaged coil, or a fault in the IPC board itself.

The affected burner zone should not be used while the F-12 fault is active, as the induction coil is not operating correctly. Other burner zones and the oven may continue to function normally depending on the specific failure. Stop using the faulted burner until the underlying cause is diagnosed and repaired.

Repair costs vary depending on the failed component. If only a wiring connection needs to be reseated, the cost may be limited to a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. Replacing an induction coil or IPC board can bring total repair costs to anywhere from $150 to $450 or more, depending on parts pricing and labor rates in your area.

A knowledgeable DIYer can attempt the first diagnostic step by unplugging the range and inspecting the coil connections at T2A-T2B or T3A-T3B on the IPC board. Reseating loose terminals requires no special tools and may clear the fault. However, if the coil or IPC board needs replacement, those repairs involve high-voltage components and are best handled by a qualified technician.

A power reset may temporarily clear the F-12 code, but it will return if the underlying issue is not resolved. If a loose terminal connection is the cause, reseating it before restoring power could resolve the fault permanently. A code that returns immediately after reset typically points to a failed coil or IPC board that requires repair or replacement.
