What this code means
F1E4
The oven could not execute the function; there may be a problem with the appliance control board or its wiring.
F1 E4 explained
With F1 E4 on the display, the oven could not execute the function. Maytag says the appliance control board or the associated wiring may be responsible. Over-the-range Maytag microwaves are the models involved.
Try this before calling
- Power the unit down at its circuit breaker(s) and wait one (1) minute.
- Switch the circuit breaker(s) on to bring the unit back up.
- Observe the microwave for one (1) minute for any return of the code.
- Verify that the microwave operates normally.
If the reset fails
Should F1 E4 show up again, stop there and book service with a qualified technician.
