Switch the breaker off for a minute, restore power and watch for a minute. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Whirlpool has no warming drawer. What does F3 E2 point to then? Then only the oven sensor and its wiring are left on Whirlpool's list. The drawer sensor applies only to ranges built with one. ### Can a Whirlpool keep baking with F3 E2? Without a trusted sensor reading the oven cannot hold temperature, so results will be off even if it heats. It is better to wait for the sensor test. --- **[Read on the site: Whirlpool range showing F3 E2 | RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/error-codes/whirlpool-f3-e2/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
