Maytag Range Error Code F1:H

F1:H indicates an EEPROM read failure in the electronic control board. The EEPROM is a memory chip on the control board that stores the range's operational settings and calibration data. When the control board's processor cannot successfully read that chip, the F1:H fault is generated. The control board must be replaced to resolve this error.

An F1:H error indicates the control board cannot read its own memory, which means the range may not operate correctly or safely. It is best to avoid using the range until the control board has been replaced. Continuing to operate the appliance with a control board fault could lead to unpredictable behavior from the heating elements or oven functions.

Disconnecting power to the range for several minutes and restoring it may temporarily clear the F1:H code, but the error will almost certainly return because the underlying cause is a hardware failure within the control board. A power reset does not repair a failed or corrupted EEPROM chip. Replacing the control board is the only reliable resolution for this fault.

The repair requires replacing the electronic control board, which is a task many experienced DIYers can handle if they are comfortable working with appliance electronics. The board is typically accessible after removing the back panel or the rear control console, depending on the model. Always disconnect power to the range before beginning any repair. If you are uncertain about working with appliance control boards, a professional technician is recommended.

The cost of a replacement control board for a Maytag range typically falls in the range of $150 to $400 for the part alone, depending on the specific model. If a technician performs the repair, labor costs will add another $100 to $200 on average. The total repair cost generally falls between $250 and $600 depending on your location and the model of range.
