Error codeF3 E2
ApplianceWall Oven
The short version
An F3 E2 message on a Maytag wall oven is attached to the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the wiring between them. Owners are given one thing to do: reset the power. If the message remains, stop there and have a technician look at it instead of opening up the oven.
Power reset, step by step
Shut the oven’s breaker or breakers off and wait a full minute.
Flip them on again so the oven powers up.
Watch the display for a minute to see if the message returns.
Confirm the oven runs.
Neighbouring entries
For the upper oven sensor, read F3 E0. The lower oven sensor is covered under F3 E1, and F3 E3 repeats the general temperature sensor wording.
Bay Area oven service for Maytag owners
To set up a visit in San Francisco or elsewhere in the Bay Area, dial (415) 649-2156 and mention Maytag wall oven repair. The display code, the model number and your reset attempt are what we ask you to have on hand.
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.
Plain language
What this code means
F3 E2 indicates a possible fault in the oven temperature sensor, the control or the wiring that links them.
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.

F3 E6 flags a possible fault with the control, the wiring or the lower oven temperature sensor. A breaker reset is the owner step; repeats need a visit.
F3 E7 lists wiring, the lower oven temperature sensor or the control as possible faults. Cut power for a minute; if the code repeats, a visit is needed.
F3 E8 hints at a fault in the lower oven temperature sensor, the control or the wiring. After a one-minute reset, a returning code means a technician visit.
