A Maytag range with F3 may have an oven control or wiring problem; Maytag begins with a breaker reset.

What this code means
F3
There may be a problem with the oven control, or the associated wiring.
Reading the F3 message
The display is warning of a possible oven control problem, or one in the wiring that belongs to the control.
Try the power reset
Switch the breaker(s) supplying the range to off, count one minute, then switch them back on. Afterwards, monitor the oven for 1 minute so you know whether the code displays again, and verify that the oven works as usual.
Related Maytag codes
Sensor-related versions include F3 E1 (sensor, control and wiring) and F3 E3 (sensor and wiring only). A warming drawer sensor is the subject of F3E2 on the tech sheet.
