F3 E2 and the sensor

The thermistor or OWI sensor is the potential cause Maytag lists for F3 E2. The help page begins with a power cycle.

Power cycle for 30 seconds

Restarting the control can sometimes remove a fault, the way a computer restart does, provided the control loses power for 30 seconds.

  1. Dishwasher on a plug: pull it from the outlet and reconnect after 30 seconds.
  2. Hard-wired dishwasher: breaker off at the home electrical panel, 30 seconds, breaker on.
  3. Look at the display afterwards. If F3 E2 returns, book a technician visit.

Sensor codes beside it

  • F3E2 reads as a thermistor or OWI that failed calibration.
  • F3E1 reads as a thermistor or OWI that is open or shorted.
  • F4 E2 is a heating system code.

Dishwasher service in the Bay Area

A thermistor code that refuses to clear can be handled by Maytag dishwasher repair for San Francisco and Bay Area households. Phone (415) 649-2156, quoting F3 E2, your model number and the power cycle you did.

Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F3 E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
