What F3 E2 can point to
Maytag’s entry lists the oven temperature sensor, the warming drawer sensor on ranges that include one, and the wiring for these sensors. The tech sheet has its own F3E2 line for the drawer side, worded as a warming drawer sensor that is open or shorted.
Reset sequence
Break power at the range’s breaker or breakers for a full minute.
Restore the power.
Keep an eye on the oven for a minute to see if F3 E2 appears once more.
Make sure the oven operates properly.

F3E2 is the warming drawer sensor entry in the tech sheet.
F3 E0 lists the oven sensor, the control and the wiring.
A technician from Maytag range repair can look at the sensor circuits on a San Francisco or Bay Area range. Call (415) 649-2156 and say whether the range has a warming drawer, along with the code and model number.
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.
