Maytag wall oven F1E2: lower oven sensor input uncalibrated
F1E2 means the main control's measuring circuit for the lower oven temperature sensor has lost its calibration, so the control locks up.

What the wall oven is detecting
The control calibrates the input it uses to read the lower oven's temperature sensor (RTD). If that calibration is lost, it stops and stores F1E2 within seconds.
Causes listed for this condition
In the order the service documentation checks them. Documented causes come from the manufacturer's service documentation for these platforms; possible causes are based on how the system works; unconfirmed marks common assumptions that the documentation does not support.
- Documented A main control board whose lower sensor input lost calibration; the documentation points to the control, not the sensor.
Safe checks you can make
- Switch the oven off at the circuit breaker (or unplug it if the plug is easy to reach) for about one minute, restore power, and see whether the code comes back.
- Write down the full code exactly as shown (including any number after a dash) and when it appears; it speeds up diagnosis.
Further diagnosis requires opening the appliance. Beyond the owner checks, diagnosis involves removing panels, testing components and checking wiring. We describe what a technician investigates, not how to do it yourself.
What a technician checks
- Confirms the code after a power reset.
- Checks for related sensor codes first.
- Replaces the main control when the fault persists.
Typical repairs and cost
Depending on what diagnosis finds, this code can lead to one of these repairs:
| Repair | Typical range | Labor |
|---|---|---|
| Wall oven control board replacement | $350–$830 | Moderate |
Typical total ranges for the Las Vegas area, parts and labor included. The final cost depends on diagnosis, the exact model, parts availability and whether other damage is found.
Can you keep using it?
Use with caution. The control may lock out some or all cooking functions. A power reset may clear the code for a while; if it keeps coming back, the control system needs diagnosis rather than repeated resets.

Repair or replace?
A fault code alone rarely justifies replacing a wall oven. Most F1E2 repairs involve a single component once diagnosed. Replacement becomes worth considering when the unit is near the end of its typical 13–17-year life and the diagnosed repair is a major one. See the repair-or-replace guide.
