What the F-60 error code actually means

The F-60 code means the control panel on your Maytag range has stopped working properly, and as a result the entire cooktop has been shut down by the appliance as a safety measure. You will not be able to use the burners or oven until the problem is resolved. The issue is either a loose wiring connection inside the range or a failed control board that needs to be replaced.

Questions people ask about F-60

What does F-60 mean on a Maytag oven?
F-60 indicates a Type 3 User Interface failure on a Maytag range. This fault means the UI control board is not functioning correctly in its communication with the Integrated Power Controls. Because it is classified as a Type 3 failure, the entire cooktop is disabled until the issue is resolved.
Can I fix the F-60 error code myself?
A knowledgeable DIYer can perform the initial diagnostic steps safely by unplugging the range and inspecting the wiring connections between the User Interface and the IPCs. If loose connectors are found and reseated, the repair may be complete without any parts. However, if the UI board has failed, replacing a control board requires comfort working with appliance electronics and correctly routing wiring harnesses.
How much does it cost to fix a Maytag F-60 error code?
If the repair only requires reseating loose wiring connections, there may be no parts cost involved, just the time for diagnosis. If the User Interface board needs replacement, parts costs typically range from around $100 to $300 or more depending on the specific model, with additional labor costs if a technician performs the repair. Getting a diagnosis before ordering parts is recommended to confirm the UI board is the root cause.
Will resetting the power clear the F-60 error code?
Disconnecting power is the recommended first step in diagnosing F-60, but it is not a permanent fix. If the fault is caused by a loose wiring connection, reseating the connectors after a power disconnect may resolve it. If the UI board itself has failed internally, the error will return after power is restored and the board will need to be replaced.
Is it safe to use my Maytag range while the F-60 code is showing?
No. The F-60 code disables the entire cooktop as part of the fault response, so burner operation is not available while the error is active. Attempting to bypass or ignore the fault is not advisable. The range should remain disconnected from power until the UI board or wiring issue has been diagnosed and corrected.
