# Maytag cooktop showing F22

Maytag files F22 under an internal communication error on the touch control module.

## What F22 actually means.

Maytag files F22 under an internal communication error on the touch control module. That module sits under the glass at the control strip and reads every key you touch.

What to do when F22 shows on the cooktop

### Kind of code Boards and communication

The touch board and the power board under the glass lost track of each other, or one failed its own start-up check. A power dip, a ribbon or harness pulled loose when the top was fitted, or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a cooktop that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker.

### Usually leads to Touch control repair

Glass touch keys and sliders that ignore a finger, start zones by themselves or stay locked, traced to the keys, the control board or the lock setting.

### Shows up as Cooktop Controls Unresponsive

Touch keys or a slider do nothing, the display lights but ignores every press, or a knob turns without starting its burner or element.

### Make Maytag

## Questions about F22.

### Can I clear F22 myself?

Switch the breaker off for one minute and back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is the touch control module on a Maytag cooktop?

It is the electronic board under the control area that reads the keys. F22 reports a communication problem inside it.

### Do F03 and F13 mean the same as F22?

Maytag's pages describe all three as an internal communication error on the touch control module.

### Is F22 on a Maytag cooktop fixed by cleaning the control strip?

Maytag's page offers no cleaning step for F22, because it describes an internal communication error on the touch control module. A one-minute breaker reset is the home step, and a returning code means a visit.
