What F25 Means
Maytag states that F25 on an electric or induction cooktop indicates a problem with the power supply to the cooktop, and adds the direct advice that if the issue reoccurs you should contact a qualified electrician. That is unusually explicit for a code page and worth following.
Common Causes of F25
- Breaker tripped or partly tripped
- Loose connection in the cooktop supply
- Supply voltage low or unbalanced
- Wiring at the junction box heat-damaged
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Check the breaker serving the cooktop: on a double-pole breaker one side can trip while the other holds, which produces exactly this kind of complaint. Reset it fully - off, then on - and try the cooktop again. If the code comes back, stop there and follow the published advice, because a supply problem on a high-current appliance circuit is an electrician matter, not an appliance repair, and continuing to reset a breaker that keeps tripping is not a safe habit.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Appliance supply wiring is a qualified electrician task, as Maytag itself states for this code.
- A breaker that trips repeatedly is reporting a real fault, not a nuisance.
