What this code means

Maytag cooktop showing F36 or F37? The manual describes two different situations depending on the cooktop type.
Induction cooktops: F36 and F37
On induction models the code means there may be a problem with a temperature sensor on an induction coil.
Radiant element cooktops: F36
On radiant element models, F36 means there may be a problem with communication between the touch control module and the electronic control.
Reset steps for both
- Switch the cooktop’s breaker(s) to off, then count one minute.
- Once the minute is up, turn the breaker(s) on.
- Monitor the cooktop for one minute to make sure the error code stays away.
- Finally, confirm that the cooktop works as it should.
If the code returns after this reset, the cooktop needs a service visit.
