Service diagnostic code for the front moisture sensor strip of a Maytag dryer.

What this code means
F3E2
Front moisture sensor strip open or shorted; appears in service diagnostic mode only.
Where F3E2 comes from
Maytag’s dryer service data sheet lists F3E2 as a fault of the front moisture sensor strip, open or shorted. You will find it only in service diagnostic mode.
What to do
The sheet gives no owner steps for it. A technician checks the strip; unplug the dryer first if you must move it.
Neighbouring codes
F3 E2 is the display version of the moisture sensor message. F3E7 covers the rear strip. F3 E5 appears after five loads without moisture sensor data.
