What this code means
F5 E3
There may be a problem with the Lower Oven Door Latch Assembly, the Door Switch, or the associated wiring.
Fault F5 E3 turns up on Maytag wall ovens, and the help has a reset routine for it.
Owner steps
Reset power to the product like this:
- Leave the circuit breaker(s) switched off for one minute.
- Turn the circuit breaker(s) back on.
- For one minute, check the display to see that the code is not shown again.
- After that, make sure the oven operates.
A code that survives the reset is one to take to service, as the help advises.
