What F3 E2
actually means.
F3 E2 flags the oven temperature sensor or, on ranges that have one, the warming drawer sensor, along with the wiring between them and the control. The oven may heat unevenly or refuse to start.

What to do when F3 E2 shows on the rangeKind of codeTemperature sensor
The oven sensor sent a reading the control would not accept, or one that climbed well past the setting. A loose plug or a sensor that has drifted is ruled out before the control board, and a temperature that keeps rising means the range is switched off at the breaker first.
Usually leads toTemperature sensor and thermostat repair
A range oven that bakes hot, bakes slow, takes forever to preheat or posts a sensor code, traced to the sensor probe, the thermostat or the calibration.
Shows up asRange Oven Temperature Wrong
Recipes burn or come out underdone, and an oven thermometer disagrees with the temperature set on the range.

Whirlpool range repair
Gas range
Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.
Electric range
Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Induction range
A glass top that heats the pan itself through copper coils and power boards, over an electric oven, with electronics doing almost all the work.
In Whirlpool's own words
There may be a problem with the Oven Temperature Sensor, the Warming Drawer Sensor (if so equipped), or the associated wiring.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Whirlpool ranges with a control that reports two-part F codes; the warming drawer part applies only where the range has one.
