Maytag Range Error Code F1:9

The F1:9 code means the electronic oven control is not calibrated. The control board stores calibration data that it uses to regulate oven temperature accurately, and that data has been lost or corrupted. The recommended fix is replacement of the control board, as the issue is internal to that component.

A reset by cutting power to the range at the breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the display, but if the control board has lost its calibration data, the F1:9 code will return. This is not a soft error that resolves on its own, and a reset does not restore lost calibration data to the board.

The cost to repair a Maytag range F1:9 error depends on whether you hire a technician or do it yourself. A replacement electronic oven control board typically costs between $150 and $350 for the part alone, depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs generally range from $250 to $500 or more. Comparing the repair cost to the age and value of the range is worth considering before proceeding.

Because the F1:9 fault is caused by a failure within the electronic oven control itself, the repair involves replacing the control board. A technician comfortable with appliance disassembly and working around line voltage components can perform this repair, but anyone unfamiliar with electrical safety should hire a qualified technician. The surface burners may still function normally, but the oven should not be used until the repair is completed.

Using the oven while the F1:9 error is active is not recommended. Without valid calibration data, the control board cannot accurately regulate oven temperature, which means the oven may overheat or underheat unpredictably. Surface burners on a gas or electric range may still operate, but the oven function should be considered unreliable until the control is replaced.
