What this code means
F4 E3
Heating error.
Overview
A heating error: that is the potential cause Maytag gives for F4 E3 on a dishwasher.
Steps from the manufacturer
- Take the dishwasher off power for 30 seconds. A plugged-in unit is unplugged; a hard-wired unit has its breaker turned off at the home electrical panel.
- Restore power by plugging in again or turning the breaker back on.
- If the error code returns, schedule service.
Check these too
- F4 E2: heating system.
- F4E3: heater relay shorted or heater failed.
- F3E2: thermistor/OWI failed calibration.
