What F2, F3, F5, F8, F9 means
F2, F3, F5, F8 and F9 are codes on Maytag wall ovens with a steam or boiler function. The manufacturer gives no cause for them and lists only a power reset, followed by starting a cycle to see whether the code returns. On a standard wall oven, some of these codes have their own listed meanings, so the type of oven matters.
Common causes of F2, F3, F5, F8, F9
- Control response to a power interruption
- Steam or boiler system circuits that we confirm by testing
- Wiring and connectors if the code returns
1. Switch off the circuit breaker for the wall oven and leave it off for one minute. 2. Turn the breaker on. 3. Start a cycle. 4. Monitor the oven for one minute to make sure the code does not return, then verify oven operation.
- No named cause means a repeat is our cue to test the control and the steam circuits
- We check the water path and heating circuits before suggesting a part
- You get a written price first, and a 30-day warranty on our work
Other Wall Oven codes
Why does the manufacturer only give a reset for these codes?
No specific cause is listed. A reset clears a passing problem, and a repeat tells us something real is behind it.
Is F2 on a steam oven the same as F2 on a standard wall oven?
No. A standard wall oven lists F2 with the temperature sensor and control. A steam or boiler oven lists it with only a reset.
Do you repair older Maytag steam wall ovens?
Yes. We quote in writing and tell you plainly if the repair does not suit the age of the oven.
