Maytag Oven Error Code F1-E1

What Does Error Code F1-E1 Mean on a Maytag Oven?

ERC board keypad stuck key — shorted keypad detected during power-up.

On power-up, the ERC board detected that a key on the control panel was already pressed (shorted). This prevents normal startup. Distinct from F2-E0 in that it is detected at power-on, not during normal operation.

How to Fix Maytag Oven Error Code F1-E1

1. 1

   Clean the control panel

   Wipe all keypad buttons with a barely-damp cloth. Pay attention to seams between buttons where grease can accumulate.

2. 2

   Power cycle

   Turn off circuit breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power. If a key was physically stuck, cleaning and power cycling often resolves F1-E1.
