Error codeF3E2
ApplianceRange
Maytag’s tech sheet for ovens and ranges is brief on F3E2: the drawer-warming sensor is open or shorted.
How it connects to F3 E2
Maytag’s product help carries a spaced entry, F3 E2, which blames the oven’s temperature probe, the sensor in the drawer (on ranges that have one) and the wiring. It recommends removing power for one minute, restoring it and watching for the code. The tech sheet gives no owner steps of its own for F3E2.
Who handles it
Testing a sensor circuit is for a technician.
If something seems off, cut the range’s power at the panel.
Book Maytag range repair in San Francisco and the Bay Area by calling (415) 649-2156. Share F3E2, the model number and whether the warming drawer works.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
