Maytag Range Error Code F1:5

F1:5 means the control board is not receiving a response from the Cancel key on the membrane switch. The board monitors each key input continuously, and when the Cancel key circuit fails to respond correctly, this fault code is triggered. The issue can originate from a worn membrane switch, a faulty ribbon cable connection, or in some cases a failed control board.

The F1:5 fault specifically affects the Cancel key function, which means you may lose the ability to cancel active cooking operations from the control panel. This is a safety concern because canceling a bake or broil cycle from the panel may not work. It is advisable to address the fault before continued use, particularly for unattended cooking.

Repair costs depend on which component has failed. A membrane switch replacement typically runs in the range of $50 to $150 for the part, plus labor if a technician performs the work. A control board replacement is more expensive, with parts generally ranging from $100 to $300 or more depending on the model. Diagnosing which component is at fault before ordering parts will help avoid unnecessary expense.

A knowledgeable DIYer can attempt this repair by first inspecting the ribbon cable connection between the membrane switch and the control board for looseness or damage. If the connection looks secure and the membrane switch shows visible wear or damage at the Cancel key zone, replacing the membrane switch is the next step. If neither resolves the fault, the control board itself will need to be replaced, which is a more involved repair.

Resetting the range by cutting power at the breaker or unplugging it may temporarily clear the F1:5 code, but the fault will return if the underlying cause is not repaired. If the membrane switch Cancel key zone is damaged or the ribbon cable connection is faulty, the code will reappear once the control board attempts to read key inputs again.
