Maytag Dishwasher F3E1 Error Code

The temperature sensor is reading incorrectly, affecting wash cycles.

Common causes

  • Faulty thermistor
  • Loose connection to thermistor
  • Wiring short or open
  • Control board failure

How to fix it

  1. Check continuity of thermistor (resistance should change with temp).
  2. Reconnect or replace the thermistor wiring harness.
  3. Use a multimeter to test thermistor at room temp (approx 10k ohms).
⚠ When to call a pro: If thermistor tests bad, replace it; if check out good, the control board may need service.
