Make sure the oven is cool and the door is fully closed. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is my Maytag oven door stuck with F9-1? The latch or its switch may not be reporting the unlock correctly. ### Is F9-1 the same as F9-2 on a Maytag? Maytag names the same parts for both. ### Can I use my Maytag stovetop with F9-1? The code is about the oven door. The burners are usually fine. --- **[Read on the site: Maytag stove showing F9-1 | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/maytag-f9-1/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
