F2 on a Maytag electric cooktop: take the pans off and let the cooking area cool. If it returns, the cooktop is still too hot.
What this code means
F2
The surface cooking area is still too hot.
When F2 shows on a Maytag electric cooktop, the surface cooking area is still hot. Maytag’s product help says to remove the pans from the surface cooking area.
How F2 clears
F2 will disappear when the surface cooking area has cooled. If you turn the area back on and F2 reappears, the cooktop is still too hot. Turn off the surface cooking area and allow it to cool.
If F2 will not leave
A power reset is the last item on the list. The breaker(s) go off for one minute, then on. Keep the cooktop under watch for one minute afterwards to be sure F2 is not displayed again, and verify operation.
