Quick answer
F3E0 — Thermistor / temperature on a JennAir dishwasher (verify for your model).
Model compatibility: JennAir reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F3E0 means wash temperature sensing is out of range. Confirm wash arms spin freely and the filter is clean, then reset; service if it returns. Wording and recovery steps differ by JennAir model and control generation — confirm in your use & care guide or Product Help. Guidance from JennAir Appliance Repair is independent repair help, not official JennAir service.
