Maytag Oven Error Code F-25

The F-25 code on a Maytag induction oven indicates a stuck or non-functioning cooling fan within the Induction Power System. The display will show which side of the oven is affected, right or left, based on which IPS fan has been detected as failing. This fault is triggered when the control determines the fan is not spinning as required to cool the induction electronics.

Continuing to operate the induction range with an F-25 error is not recommended. The cooling fans are essential to preventing the IPS electronics from overheating during use. Running the appliance without proper airflow risks damaging the induction power components, which could turn a straightforward fan repair into a much more expensive fix.

Repair costs for an F-25 fault can vary depending on what is causing the issue. If the problem is just a loose connector or a minor obstruction, there may be no parts cost at all. Replacing a cooling fan motor typically falls in the range of $50 to $150 for the part, plus any applicable labor. If the IPS control board is at fault, parts and labor costs can be considerably higher, often ranging from $200 to $500 or more.

Some causes of the F-25 error can be addressed without professional help. Start by unplugging the range and checking that the cooling fan's wiring connector is firmly seated. You should also inspect the fan blade for any debris or obstruction that may be preventing it from spinning. If the motor itself has failed or there is a wiring or control board issue, a qualified technician is recommended for those repairs.

Disconnecting power to the range and restoring it may temporarily clear the F-25 code, but the error will return if the underlying cause has not been corrected. A reset alone does not repair a stuck fan, a loose connector, or a failed motor. The root cause must be diagnosed and addressed to prevent the code from recurring.
