Frequently Asked Questions
What does F5E1 mean on a Maytag oven?
F5E1 means the self-clean lock tried to engage but the switch didn't confirm.
Is F5E1 the same as F9E0?
Related but different. F9E0 means the lock didn't start. F5E1 means it started but didn't complete.
Can I run self-clean after clearing F5E1?
Don't retry until the lock is fixed. Self-clean at extreme temperatures without a lock is unsafe.
