Maytag Oven Error Code 3d41

The 3d41 code means the UH control board detected a short circuit in the meat probe circuit, specifically a resistance reading below 0 ohms. This is an impossible resistance value for a functioning probe, so the control flags the fault and disables all probe functions. The meat probe assembly or its connecting cable is the most likely source of the short.

Start by removing the meat probe and testing it with a multimeter set to ohms. A good probe reads a positive resistance value; a reading of 0 ohms or a shorted reading confirms probe failure. Also inspect the probe cable for cracked or melted insulation and check the receptor jack inside the oven cavity for grease buildup or bent contacts. If the probe tests bad, replace it with a compatible Maytag meat probe. If the probe tests good and the error persists, the receptor jack or the UH control board may need further diagnosis.

A power reset may temporarily clear the 3d41 code from the display, but the error will return as soon as the control re-checks the probe circuit and detects the short again. The underlying short in the meat probe or its wiring must be corrected for the code to stay cleared. Always verify the probe circuit with a multimeter rather than relying on a reset to confirm the repair.

Yes, in most cases you can still use standard oven functions such as bake and broil because 3d41 only disables meat probe functions. To be safe, unplug the meat probe from the receptor jack in the oven cavity before using the oven. Do not attempt to use the probe temperature monitoring feature until the fault is resolved, as readings would be unreliable.

If only the meat probe needs replacement, parts typically cost between $20 and $60 depending on the model, and the replacement is a simple plug-in swap requiring no tools. If the receptor jack inside the oven wall is damaged, parts and labor can run $80 to $150. A UH control board replacement is the most expensive scenario, generally $150 to $300 for the part plus labor if professionally installed.
