I have a Maytag Gemini range. I am getting an F1-2 error code (Runaway cook lower oven) when using the top oven and the lower oven is off. The best guess that I have seen trolling the internet is that the control panel, part # AP204841, may be failing. As it is a quite expensive part, can your experts offer an opinion as to likelihood of this? Many thanks.

hi,
F1 code - You have either a bad ERC (clock) or a bad touch pad. Here is the procedure for determining your problem. F-2 code is the relay or sensor. According to the model number you posted I get part number AP204974 which is the clock/control, the sensor part is AP204836. Could also be the overlay.
[LIST=1]
  • Disconnect power to stove
  • Gain access to the back of the clock (electronic range control or ERC).
  • Unplug the touch pad ribbon connector from the ERC. This will be a flat wire apx. 1 1/2" to 2" wide.
  • Make sure everything is clear and will not short out when power is turned back on.
  • Turn power back on to stove.
  • Watch for the F1 and listen for the beep.
  • If you get the F1 and beep, replace the ERC.
  • If after apx. 30 minutes you do NOT get the F1 and hear the beep, replace the touch pad.
    NOTE: Some models incorporate the touch pad and the clock as one part.[/LIST]
