Whirlpool oven error F3E2 – Temperature sensor fault
Is your Whirlpool oven overheating or not heating correctly? The F3E2 error indicates an issue with the temperature sensor, which helps regulate and maintain the oven’s internal temperature. A faulty sensor can lead to uneven cooking, burnt food, or an oven that won’t heat at all.
Common causes:
- Faulty temperature sensor
A damaged or worn-out sensor may send incorrect temperature readings, causing the oven to overheat or underheat.
- Loose or damaged wiring
If the wiring connected to the sensor is loose, frayed, or broken, the sensor may not function properly.
- Control board malfunction
If the control board misreads temperature data, it can trigger the error and prevent the oven from maintaining the correct heat level.
How to fix it:
- Test the temperature sensor
Use a multimeter to check for proper resistance. If the sensor shows abnormal readings, it should be replaced.
- Inspect wiring connections
Ensure that all wires connected to the sensor and control board are secure and undamaged.
- Reset the oven
Unplug the oven for 5 minutes to reset the system. If the error persists, further troubleshooting may be needed.
- Check the control board
If the temperature sensor and wiring are in good condition, the control board may need to be replaced.
Pro tip
Avoid excessive use of the self-cleaning cycle—it can cause extreme heat buildup, which may damage internal components, including the temperature sensor.
