Maytag Oven Error Code C-83

C-83 indicates a Type 2 failure in the induction cooktop temperature sensor. The control board has detected that the sensor signal is stuck and not responding to actual temperature changes. This causes the oven to restrict or shut down induction cooktop operation as a safety measure. The fault typically points to a loose sensor connector, a failed sensor, or a wiring issue.

The C-83 fault is specifically related to the induction cooktop temperature sensor, meaning the oven baking or broiling functions may still operate while this code is active. However, using the induction cooktop surface when the temperature sensor is not functioning correctly is not recommended, as the system cannot properly monitor or regulate heat output. Avoid using the induction elements until the fault is diagnosed and repaired.

Repair costs vary depending on which component has failed. If the issue is simply a loose connector, there may be no parts cost, though a service call fee typically applies. Replacing the induction cooktop temperature sensor generally falls in the range of $50 to $150 for the part, plus labor if a technician performs the repair. Control board replacement, if required, is a more expensive repair that can range from $200 to $500 or more depending on the model.

Unplugging the range or disconnecting power can temporarily clear the code, but if the underlying problem is not resolved the C-83 error will return when power is restored and the cooktop attempts to operate. A reset is useful as a first diagnostic step to rule out a transient fault, but a persistent code requires physical inspection and likely component repair or replacement.

Start by unplugging the range or shutting off the circuit breaker, then locate the induction cooktop temperature sensor and verify its connector is firmly and correctly seated. Restore power and check if the code clears. If the error persists, the sensor wiring harness should be inspected for damage, and the sensor itself should be tested for proper function. A faulty sensor or damaged harness will require part replacement to resolve the issue.
