Quick facts about F3-1
Appears on Maytag ranges.
Possible sources: the oven temperature sensor, the control, the wiring.
Maytag’s advice: power reset, then observe the oven.
Carrying out the reset
A minute with the breaker or breakers off leaves the range fully without power. Switch them back on, then give the oven one minute of observation to see that F3-1 stays gone, and verify that it operates.
If the hyphenated code does not clear, schedule Maytag range repair by phoning (415) 649-2156. We work in San Francisco and around the Bay; mention F3-1, the model number and how the reset went.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F3-1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
