ApplianceWall Oven
Lower oven latch trouble
With F5 E3, Maytag directs attention to the Lower Oven Door Latch Assembly, the Door Switch and the associated wiring. It is a wall oven entry that does not name series.
Steps for the power reset
Turn the supplying breaker(s) off; leave them off for a minute.
Close the breaker(s) so the oven regains power.
Monitor the oven for sixty seconds to see whether F5 E3 is back.
Check normal operation afterwards.
Where the code is still there, the help advice is to schedule a technician visit.
