F3E2 adds the warming drawer sensor, if present, to the oven sensor and wiring wording.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
Possible problem with the oven temperature sensor, the warming drawer sensor (if so equipped) or its wiring; technician sheet: warming drawer sensor open or shorted.
How F3E2 differs
This code is different from the ones around it: it adds a second sensor. The KitchenAid range page says the oven temperature sensor, the warming drawer sensor (where fitted) or the wiring could be at fault.
At a glance
| Code | F3E2 |
|---|---|
| What it means | Possible problem with the oven temperature sensor, the warming drawer sensor if fitted, or wiring. |
| What you can check | Switch the breaker off for a minute and then on again. A minute later, confirm F3E2 has not returned, and run the oven to be sure it operates. |
| When to call a technician | If F3E2 persists, treat it as a service matter. Tell the technician whether your range has a warming drawer, since the code is linked to that sensor. |
The sheet and the page together
| Source | Says |
|---|---|
| Range page | Oven temperature sensor, warming drawer sensor if equipped, or wiring |
| Technician sheet | Warming drawer sensor open or shorted |
The sheet favours the drawer sensor, but because the range page still lists the oven sensor, neither is dropped.
Does it concern my range?
The drawer sensor applies only when the range has a warming drawer, as the phrase “if so equipped” shows. The oven sensor and the wiring stay in play either way.
The reset
Switch the breaker off for a minute and then on again. A minute later, confirm that F3E2 has not returned. Run the oven to be sure it operates.
If it persists
Treat it as a service matter. State whether a warming drawer is fitted when you call, because KitchenAid links the code to that sensor.

F3E2 FAQ
No drawer on my range, what then?
The wording about the drawer depends on one being fitted; the oven sensor and wiring remain.
Can I tell which sensor failed?
Not from the code alone. Technicians test them to find out.
