What this code means
F2 E1
There may be a problem with the cooktop control, or the associated wiring.
F2 E1 on a Maytag electric cooktop means there may be a problem with the cooktop control, or the associated wiring. Maytag first asks whether the area needs to be cleaned.
Does the area need cleaning?
Contamination on the keys, such as food, water or other build-up, may hinder the controls’ responsiveness. Clean the area thoroughly with soap and water and dry it with a microfiber towel. Use the Key lock so the cooktop does not turn on by accident while you clean.
Then reset the power
Once the keys are dry, reset the cooktop at the breaker panel: off for one minute, then on. A minute later, confirm the code is gone and test that the cooktop operates.
