Maytag Range Error Code 1c1c

Error code 1c1c means the control circuit board has detected a shorted key on the keypad, indicating one or more buttons are registering as continuously pressed. This can be caused by a physically stuck key, moisture under the membrane, or an internally failed keypad membrane. The range stores this code and may restrict normal operation until the fault is resolved.

Using the range with an active 1c1c code is not advisable. A shorted key condition means the control board is receiving unintended input, which can prevent normal operation or cause unintended commands to register. If the oven does appear to function, there is a risk that controls may not respond predictably. Clear the fault before resuming regular use.

Power cycling may temporarily clear the 1c1c code if the cause was a momentary keypad signal, but if a key remains physically stuck or the membrane has an internal short, the code will return as soon as the board redetects the fault. A power reset is a reasonable first step, but the keypad must be physically inspected and the underlying cause corrected for the fix to hold.

Start by entering Diagnostic Code Display Mode to confirm the stored code, then inspect every key on the control panel for one that feels stuck, depressed, or unresponsive. Gently clean around the keypad edges to remove any debris or residue. If no stuck key is found and the error returns after power cycling, the keypad membrane likely needs replacement. If replacing the membrane does not clear the code, the control circuit board is the next component to address.

If the issue is a stuck key that can be freed by cleaning, there is no parts cost. A replacement keypad membrane typically costs between $30 and $80 depending on the model. A replacement control circuit board ranges from $100 to $250 or more for parts alone. Professional labor adds roughly $100 to $200 depending on your area, so total repair cost can range from nothing to over $400 if the board requires replacement.
