What F42, F43 or F58 means

F42, F43 and F58 on a Maytag electric or induction cooktop point to the cooktop power control board or its wiring. This is the board that switches power to the cooking areas, so the cooktop may not heat or may stop in use. The code does not say which cooking area or part is affected. The brand's instruction is to turn the breaker off for one minute, back on, and watch the cooktop for one minute to confirm the code does not return.

Common causes of F42, F43 or F58

Cooktop power control board
Wiring or connector to the board
Supply voltage reaching the board
Relay or switching circuit on the board

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Power the cooktop down at its breaker(s) for one minute. 2. Power it up. 3. Keep an eye on the display for a minute. 4. Check each cooking area with a pan. 5. If the code is back, switch everything off and call us.

! Why to stop there

The code points to the board in general, so we test the supply and connectors before saying the board has failed
We find which cooking areas are affected
A board is priced in writing for your approval before we order it

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.

F42, F43 or F58F42, F43 or F58 questions

Do F42, F43 and F58 mean different things?

The brand groups them together under one cause and one first step. We read the one on your display and test the board and wiring.

Is the power board expensive?

It can be a significant part, which is why we test the connections and the supply first. You get a written price before we order the board, so the cost is clear before any work.

Can I use the cooktop between visits?

If it works normally after the reset, short use is fine. If the code returns, stop using the cooktop and call us, because a power board that is failing can behave unpredictably under load, and we would rather test it first.
