How do I fix the error code E1 F3 on my Maytag front-loading washing machine?

The Maytag E1 F3 error code indicates that the oven’s temperature sensor is defective. This error code is displayed when the oven’s temperature sensor is not sending the correct signal to the control board. The temperature sensor is located in the oven cavity near the oven’s heating element. The sensor measures the temperature inside the oven and sends the information to the control board. The control board uses this information to regulate the oven’s temperature. If the sensor is not working correctly, the control board will not be able to regulate the oven’s temperature properly, and the E1 F3 error code will be displayed.
