What 1c31, 1c32, 1c4c, 1c6c, 1c7c, 1c81, 1c82 or 1c8c means

These codes show up on Maytag electric and gas freestanding and slide-in ranges, such as the MER8650ES or the MGR6751BDW. The family is 1c31, 1c32, 1c4c, 1c6c, 1c7c, 1c81, 1c82 and 1c8c. Each one points to the oven control or to the wiring that feeds it, meaning the control has detected something it cannot work with. You will see the code in the display, and the oven may refuse to heat or may end a cycle early. The code names a circuit, not a part that has been proven bad.

Common causes of 1c31, 1c32, 1c4c, 1c6c, 1c7c, 1c81, 1c82 or 1c8c

Oven control board that cannot complete its own self-check
Wiring and connectors between the control and the oven
Power interruption or surge that upset the control

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the oven off and let it cool. 2. Switch the range's circuit breaker off for one minute, then switch it back on. 3. Watch the display for one minute to see whether the code returns. 4. Start a short bake cycle to confirm the oven works normally. 5. If the code comes back, stop using the oven and note exactly which code appears.

! Why to stop there

A breaker reset only clears a one-time glitch; it cannot tell us whether the control or its wiring is behind a repeat code.
We read the connectors and test the control output before suggesting any replacement, and you approve the written price 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.

1c31, 1c32, 1c4c, 1c6c, 1c7c, 1c81, 1c82 or 1c8c1c31, 1c32, 1c4c, 1c6c, 1c7c, 1c81, 1c82 or 1c8c questions

Do all eight of these codes mean the same thing?

They share one meaning: a problem with the oven control or its wiring. The last characters differ because the control logs which internal check failed, and we use that detail when we trace the circuit.

Is it safe to use the range with this code showing?

Stop baking until the code clears. The cooktop may still work on some models, but a control that is flagging itself should not run long cycles unattended until we have looked at it.

Does fixing it come with a warranty?

Yes, and that is true for every job. Our repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty, and you get the price in writing before we start any work on your Maytag range.
