Maytag Range Error Code F1-F

The F1-F code means a configuration jumper on the printed circuit board (PCB) has not been removed as required. This fault is detected during the control board's self-diagnostic check at startup. It most commonly occurs after a control board replacement when the jumper shipped with the new board was not removed before installation. Removing the jumper from the PCB resolves the error.

The F1-F fault prevents normal operation of the range, so cooking functions will not be available while the error is active. The error itself does not indicate an electrical hazard, but the range should not be used until the jumper is removed and the control board is operating correctly. Always disconnect power before accessing the PCB.

If only jumper removal is needed, there is no parts cost involved. If a technician performs the repair, expect to pay a service call fee in the range of $75 to $150 depending on your location. If the wrong PCB was installed and a correct replacement board is required, control board parts typically cost between $100 and $300, plus labor.

Disconnect power to the range at the breaker or by unplugging it. Access the control board, locate the jumper connector bridging two pins on the PCB surface, and remove it using needle-nose pliers or your fingers. Restore power and the error should clear. If the code persists after the jumper is removed, the PCB itself may need further inspection.

No, a simple power reset will not clear F1-F. The error is caused by a physical jumper present on the PCB, and the control board will detect it again every time power is restored. The jumper must be physically removed from the board for the fault to clear.
