F8-2 error, oven overheats or shuts down with fan running at high speed

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Incorrect fan feedback signal, failing fan motor, EOC sensing circuit fault, wiring harness issue

Safety First: Turn off power before servicing the fan or control.

Inspect fan wiring: Check for loose or damaged wires at the fan motor and control board.
Check for aftermarket parts: Ensure the cooling fan is the correct Maytag part; incorrect motors can cause feedback errors.
Replace fan motor: If the fan is excessively noisy or speed seems uncontrolled, replace the cooling fan motor.
Replace EOC if needed: If wiring and fan are correct but F8-2 persists, the control board may need replacement.
