What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
Meat probe may be dislocated or the power attachment unplugged.
A Whirlpool wall oven showing F3E4 may have a dislocated meat probe, or a power attachment that has become unplugged.
How to clear F3E4
The cause depends on the model number: either a dislocated meat probe or a power attachment that has come loose.
If you were using the probe
Verify the probe sits securely in the receptacle.
The receptacle location differs between ovens, so use the Owner’s Manual for the spot and the instructions.
If a power attachment was in use
It may have become unplugged (offered on some models).
Roll out the rack and confirm the attachment is in the correct location.
Firmly push the roll-out back in. A tone sounds when the rack is in place.
Then reset power
Power the unit down at the circuit breaker for 1 minute, turn the breaker on, and monitor for 1 minute that the code does not display again. Verify the oven operates.
Easily confused codes
Check the neighbours as well: F3E3 is about the oven temperature sensor; F3E5 is about the lower oven temperature sensor; F3E2 is about the oven temperature sensor.
