FC RR identifies the right rear hotplate. Maytag's page says that element or the wiring to it may be failing, so one zone is under suspicion rather than the whole cooktop. Maytag cooktop display What to do when FC RR shows on the cooktop ### Kind of code Radiant elements A ribbon element under the glass, or a coil on an older top, did not heat the way its control asked, or kept heating past the setting. The pan, the infinite switch or touch relay behind it and the wiring to the terminal block come first; the element and its temperature limiter follow. A zone that will not switch off means the breaker goes off before anything else. ### Usually leads to Radiant element repair Zones under a smooth glass cooktop that stay dark, heat weakly or cut out, traced to the ribbon element, its limiter or the relay that feeds it. ### Shows up as Cooktop Element Not Heating A coil stays black, a radiant ring under the glass never glows, or a zone warms so weakly that a pot of water will not boil. ### Make Maytag A Whirlpool brand long sold on durability, found on older built-in cooktops in many US homes. ### Source Maytag Product Help: FC RR, electric cooktop Maytag electric cooktops. ## Before you book, in this order.

Switch the breaker off for one minute and back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Which element is FC RR on a Maytag cooktop? The right rear one. ### Could a bad connection cause FC RR instead of the element? Yes. Maytag names the wiring as well as the hotplate, and a technician checks both. ### Can I keep cooking on the other Maytag zones with FC RR showing? If they work normally, leave the right rear zone alone and use the rest until the visit. Maytag's page names only that position's hotplate and the wiring to it. --- **[Read on the site: Maytag cooktop showing FC RR | CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/maytag-fc-rr/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
