What this code means
E22
The thermal sensor circuit reported a short to the control board.
The E22 display
The thermal sensor circuit reported a short to the control board, so the microwave put E22 on the display. Maytag names three places the trouble may be: the thermal sensor, the appliance control board, or the associated wiring. Over-the-range Maytag microwaves are the models involved.
First steps
- Turn off the circuit breaker(s) for the microwave and leave them off for one (1) minute.
- Restore power by switching the breaker(s) on again.
- Monitor the unit for one (1) minute; the code should stay off the display.
- Finish by running the microwave to verify it operates.
Code comes back
If the reset does not clear E22, hand the microwave to a qualified technician.
