What Other F Code means

Any F code on a Maytag electric or induction cooktop that is not one of the specific FC messages means the same family of trouble: the user interface (touchpad), the cooktop power control board, or the wiring joining them. The display shows an F followed by a character or number, and some cooking areas may stop heating while the code is present. Because the code names a circuit group rather than one part, the work is to narrow it down.

Common causes of Other F Code

  • Touchpad and its connections
  • Cooktop power control board
  • Wiring between the touchpad and the board
  • Moisture reaching the control area from a spill
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn all controls off and let the cooktop cool down. 2. Turn off the cooktop's breaker, wait one full minute, then turn it on again. 3. Stay near the cooktop for a minute and watch whether the F code reappears. 4. If it is clear, try each cooking area at a low setting.

! Why to stop there
  • The letter or number after F helps us narrow the circuit, so write it down for us
  • We test the touchpad, the power board and the wiring one at a time
  • The exact characters on the display decide which test comes first
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Other F CodeOther F Code questions
What if my code is F followed by something I do not see listed?

Tell us exactly what the display shows. Many F codes on these cooktops share the same circuit group, and the exact characters let us narrow the test before we arrive.

Is it the power board or the touchpad?

The code alone does not say. We test both and the wiring between them, and we only replace the part that tests bad, after you approve the written price.

Can I use the cooktop with an F code on the display?

We advise against it after one reset attempt. Heating can be unpredictable on a cooktop reporting a control problem, so leave it off until it has been tested.
