F3E2 explained for Maytag dishwasher owners: failed thermistor/OWI calibration.
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.
What this code means
F3E2
Thermistor/OWI failed calibration.
What the display reports
F3E2 is a calibration failure of the thermistor/OWI. It sits next to F3E1 in the manual, but the two entries describe different conditions.
Related entries
- F3E1 for an open or shorted thermistor/OWI.
- F3 E2 for the thermistor or OWI sensor, as worded on the support page.
- F4E3 for a heater relay that is shorted or a heater that failed.
If you are standing at the machine
Unplug it or turn off its breaker before you open anything. The manual leaves calibration and sensor work to a technician.
