What F2 E1 means

F2 E1 appears on Maytag gas freestanding and slide-in ranges, such as the MGR6751BDW, and the possible causes are the user interface or keypad, the control or the wiring. A less obvious cause is the cooktop grates: if a grate is seated crooked or backward, it can press on a control point and the range reports the error. Owners see F2 E1 and may find the keypad or burners unresponsive. Checking the grates is the first step.

Common causes of F2 E1

  • Cooktop grate seated backward or unlevel
  • User interface or keypad
  • Oven control board and its wiring
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Let the range cool completely. 2. Rock each grate corner to corner and side to side. If a grate wobbles, it may be installed backwards, so switch the grates. 3. After the grates sit level, switch the range's breaker off for one minute and on again. 4. Monitor for one minute and verify operation.

! Why to stop there
  • If the grates sit level and the code returns, the keypad, control or wiring is the next place to look.
  • We test those in order and show you the result, with a written price before any repair.
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.

F2 E1F2 E1 questions
Why would a grate cause an electronic code?

A grate that sits unevenly can put pressure where it does not belong, and the control may read that as a problem. Reseating it and resetting power sometimes clears the code.

How do I know a grate is wrong?

With the range cool, press each corner and side. A grate that rocks or wobbles may be backward. Try swapping the grates and test again.

What if the grates are fine?

Then the keypad, control or wiring is the more likely area. We test them and tell you which one it is before we price a repair.
