Frequently Asked Questions
What does F3E1 mean on a Maytag oven?
F3E1 means the sensor reads too low. The oven may overshoot its target temperature.
Can F3E1 cause overheating?
Yes. If the sensor reads low, the oven compensates by heating more, potentially overshooting.
What's the difference between F3E0, F3E1, and F3E2?
F3E0 is open (disconnected). F3E1 is too low (high resistance). F3E2 is too high (shorted). All need sensor work.
