What F1, F1-1, F1-2, F1-3, F1-H or F1-L means

On a Maytag built-in wall oven, F1 points to the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the wiring. On a steam wall oven, F1-3 has no stated cause and only a power reset is given. We have no wall oven meaning for F1-1, F1-2, F1-H or F1-L, so we treat them as unknown until we test the oven. The display shows the code and heating may be limited.

Common causes of F1, F1-1, F1-2, F1-3, F1-H or F1-L

  • The oven temperature sensor for F1
  • The oven control
  • Wiring and connectors at the sensor
  • For F1-1, F1-2, F1-H and F1-L, a cause we find by testing
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Let the oven cool. 2. Switch the breaker off for a minute, then on. 3. On a steam wall oven showing F1-3, start a cycle after the reset. 4. Watch the oven for a minute and verify that it works.

! Why to stop there
  • The reset does not reveal which of the listed parts, if any, is responsible
  • For the unlisted codes we read what the oven is doing and test the circuits
  • You receive the price in writing before work, and our repair has a 30-day warranty
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.
F1, F1-1, F1-2, F1-3, F1-H or F1-LF1, F1-1, F1-2, F1-3, F1-H or F1-L questions
What does F1 mean on a Maytag wall oven?

The manufacturer ties it to the oven temperature sensor, the control, or their wiring. The code alone does not say which one.

Is F1-3 different from F1?

On steam wall ovens, F1-3 has only a power reset given. We still test the steam oven if it comes back.

Can I test the oven temperature myself?

You can notice if food cooks unevenly, and that is useful when you call. Measuring electrical values is a job for us.
