Error codeF3 E1
ApplianceRange
Three components are suspects when a range displays F3 E1: the oven temperature sensor, the control board side of things, and the wiring running between. Maytag’s help entry treats it as a general range code and offers one reset routine.
Power reset, in Maytag’s order
Step
What to do
1
Turn the range breaker or breakers off and wait one minute.
2
Turn the breaker or breakers on.
3
Let the oven run under observation for one minute and see that F3 E1 does not return.
4
Verify that the oven operates.
Codes to compare
F3 E3 drops the control and names the sensor and wiring only.
F3E2 moves the fault to the warming drawer’s sensor.
Maytag range service from San Francisco to the Bay Area
If the code comes back, book Maytag range repair on (415) 649-2156. Technicians work throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area; give the F3 E1 code, the model number and what you already did at the breaker.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F3 E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
