Maytag ERC Fault Codes

Many failure codes are caused by a faulty timer (also known as the Electronic Range Control). Sometimes, even when the failure code implies that another component has failed this can actually be a timer problem (whereby the timer is not displaying the correct fault code). If you are not sure whether the code you are seeing is due to a problem with the timer please call us, or send us an email, since we can help you determine whether the failure code is likely a timer problem or a problem with some other component. We can repair most timers so if you are sure your problem pertains to the timer (or ERC) please fill out a repair service request and send us your timer to be repaired.

Maytag with type "C" and "D" Clocks

Fault CodeCondition/DescriptionResolution
F1Supervisory relay enable shorted (non-cook mode); sounds alarm and inhibits cook mode if alarm fault monitor is always active in non-cook mode, and requires removal of power until serviced.Usually a bad touch pad or clock assembly (also called the ERC). Replace touchpad or have ERC repaired
F2Bake/broil/clean temp runaway alarm; sounds alarm and resets control to non-cook mode when bake/broil/clean temp exceeds programmed limits.Usually means a stuck relay. Electric @ 525F (bake), 640F(broil), 900F(clean)
Gas @ 525F (bake), 640F(broil), 900F(clean)
F3Open temp oven temperature sensor; sounds alarm and inhibits cook modeReplace oven temperature sensor
F4Shorted temp oven temperature sensor; sounds alarm and inhibits cook modeReplace oven temperature sensor
F5Supervisory relay enable open (cook mode); sounds alarm and resets the control to non-cook modeRepair electronic range control (ERC)
F5Missing a/c line cycle detector; displays code (no audible)Unplug appliance for two minutes, should clear problem
F7Function key shorted; too hot at the clock assembly (also called the ERC) or shorted touch pad or clock assembly (also called the ERC)Replace touchpad or have ERC repaired
F8Analog/Digital supervisory; sounds alarm to non-cook modeHave ERC repaired
F9Door latch supervisory (door latched)Unlock door and check switches or clock assembly (also called the ERC)
F0Cancel key supervisionRequires the removal of power until serviced. See qualified technician
