PF
Maytag Range/Oven Error PF: Power Failure — Clock Reset Required
The range has detected that power was interrupted — either from an outage, a tripped breaker, or the range being accidentally unplugged. PF is displayed to alert the user to reset the clock. This is an informational indicator, not a fault.

SAB
Maytag Range/Oven Error SAB: Sabbath Mode Active
The oven is in Sabbath mode, a special operating mode that allows the oven to remain on at a constant temperature without the display changing, without beeping, and without the light activating when the door opens. All other controls and functions are disabled while Sabbath mode is active. This is an intentional feature, not a fault.
