Is it safe to keep using it?

Depends on code severity. Low/Medium codes often allow continued use, High severity requires immediate stop.

Can error codes be reset?

Some codes clear after power cycle. Persistent codes indicate underlying issues needing repair.

Low Medium High
Code Meaning Severity Common Symptom
F1E0 Electronic oven control fault High Pressing Bake, Broil, or Convection on the Maytag MGR or MER control panel produces no response — elements and igniters stay off because the EOC has locked itself out. View F1E1 Oven temp runaway High The cavity temperature climbs well past the target — sometimes 100°F or more above the setpoint — before the EOC trips the fault and cuts power to the elements or gas valve. View F2E0 Oven over-temperature High The bake element or gas burner cuts out suddenly mid-cycle, the display shows F2E0, and an alarm tone sounds — indicating the cavity exceeded the thermal cutoff threshold. View F2E1 Door latch or lock fault Medium The Maytag range initiates self-clean, the latch motor engages, but the control never receives the locked confirmation and cancels the cycle — leaving the door unlocked at ambient temperature. View F3E0 Temp sensor open circuit High Elements or gas burner energize briefly then cut out within the first few minutes of any cook mode. View F3E1 Temp sensor shorted High Heating elements or the gas burner on the Maytag range energize for only a few seconds — or not at all — before the EOC cuts power and displays F3E1, because the shorted sensor is reporting an extreme temperature. View F3E2 Temp sensor high reading High The control displays a high temperature reading even at room temperature — the sensor has drifted. View F5E0 Door lock failed to lock Medium The Maytag range initiates the lock sequence, the latch motor runs, but the door never locks — the control cancels the self-clean cycle before any temperature increase occurs. View F5E1 Door lock stuck after clean Medium The Maytag range completes the self-clean timer and the cavity begins cooling, but the door latch arm does not retract — the door cannot be opened and F5E1 is displayed. View F9E0 Door lock motor fault Medium On Maytag MGR and MER models the latch motor either fails to reach the locked position before self-clean begins, or fails to return to unlocked after the cycle — in both cases F9E0 is displayed. View LOC Control lock engaged Low Pressing any pad on the Maytag range control panel produces no response — the Loc indicator or the lock icon remains on the display and no function activates. View PF Power failure mid-cycle Low The range display shows a power failure indicator when power returns after an outage or breaker trip. View
