Error codeF3 E3
ApplianceRange
Two possibilities, no more: the oven temperature sensor, or the wiring tied to it. Unlike F3 E0 and F3 E1, the F3 E3 message does not mention the control.
Maytag’s steps
Power down by switching the breaker or breakers off, and wait a minute.
Power up again at the breaker or breakers.
Check the oven over the next minute; the error must not show up again.
F3E0 is the tech sheet line for a main sensor open or shorted.
Maytag range service when F3 E3 stays on
For a sensor code that persists, Maytag range repair reaches San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area. Reach the office at (415) 649-2156 and have F3 E3 and the model number written down.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F3 E3 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
F3 E3 on a Maytag range may mean a problem with the oven temperature sensor or the associated wiring.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
