What F3 E3 means

F3 E3 appears on Maytag electric and gas freestanding and slide-in ranges, including the MGR6751BDW. It means there may be a problem with the oven temperature sensor or with its wiring. The control cannot read the sensor properly, so it cannot manage the heat. Owners notice the code on the display, and the oven can fail to preheat, turn off during baking or run at an odd temperature until power is reset.

Common causes of F3 E3

  • Oven temperature sensor
  • Sensor wiring or plug connection
  • Control input that reads the sensor
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Make sure the oven is cold. 2. Turn off the range's breaker for one minute, then turn it back on. 3. Watch the display for one minute to see whether F3 E3 comes back. 4. Test the oven with a short bake. 5. Do not pull or bend the sensor in the oven wall.

! Why to stop there
  • A sensor and its wiring give the same reading problem, and a reset cannot separate them.
  • We check the sensor's value and its connector, and you get the price in writing before any repair is done.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F3 E3F3 E3 questions
Where is the oven sensor?

It is a slim rod that sticks out inside the oven cavity, usually near the top rear. Please do not bend it, since that can change its readings and make the problem worse.

Can an oven sensor be fixed or only replaced?

If the trouble is a loose or damaged connector, we can often fix that. If the sensor itself reads wrong, replacement is the usual answer, and we explain which applies before we price it.

What does a wrong sensor do to my cooking?

The oven may run hotter or cooler than the setting. That can burn a roast or leave a casserole raw, so it is worth fixing before your next big meal.
