Maytag Range Error Code F1-H

F1-H on a Maytag range indicates an EEPROM error detected by the electronic control board. The EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a small memory chip embedded in or closely tied to the control board that stores critical operating data such as calibration settings, cook cycle parameters, and configuration values. When the control board cannot read from or write to this memory correctly, it triggers F1-H and halts normal operation to prevent unpredictable behavior.

For homeowners, think of the EEPROM as the range's long-term memory. It holds the settings and instructions the oven relies on every time it runs a cycle. If this memory becomes corrupted, loses power unexpectedly during a write cycle, or the chip itself fails, the control board recognizes the data as invalid and throws this fault code. The oven stops functioning normally because it cannot trust its own stored instructions.

Because the EEPROM is physically part of or directly soldered to the control board assembly in most Maytag ranges, the repair path is replacing the entire control board. Attempting to reset the code by cycling power may clear it temporarily, but the fault will return if the underlying memory failure persists.
