F3E2 includes a warming drawer sensor, if the range has one, alongside the oven sensor and wiring.
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.
Plain language
What this code means
KitchenAid lists F3E2 as a possible oven temperature sensor, warming drawer sensor (if equipped) or wiring problem; the technician sheet says warming drawer sensor open or shorted.
A second sensor turns up with F3E2. On KitchenAid’s range page the possible trouble spots are the oven temperature sensor, a sensor in the warming drawer (only on ranges built with one), and the wiring.
Warming drawer or not
The qualifier in the page text restricts the drawer sensor to ranges that include a warming drawer. For every range, the oven sensor and the wiring stay in the picture.
Line on the tech sheet
Here the sheet that covers electric range and oven controls reads: the drawer sensor is open or shorted. That points toward the drawer. Because the range page still lists the oven sensor too, both are shown and neither is picked.
Reset steps
Turn the breaker off and count to sixty.
Turn the breaker on.
After a minute, look to see if F3E2 has come back.
Use the oven to confirm it operates.
After the reset
A code that keeps returning is a service matter. Mention a warming drawer, if the range has one, since KitchenAid ties this code to it.
Compare with these sensor codes
F3E0: the oven temperature sensor, control or wiring.
F3E3: a meat probe that may not be seated, and on the range page the oven temperature sensor.
Questions
My range has no warming drawer. Does this apply? The drawer part of the wording is conditional, so the oven sensor and wiring stay listed.
Which sensor is faulty? The code does not say, and the pages give no way to find out. Technicians have to test them.
