Open sensor circuit or intermittent sensor connection. First you need to check the sensor, to test it disconnect power, pull the range or oven out then take off the back cover. Once off, you should see the two small wires that are from the sensor and you need to disconnect them (some have a plug but if you have to cut the wires). Now using your ohmmeter , measure resistance between the wires going to the sensor. It should be somewhere between 1050 and 1150 ohms. Note that this test should be done while the oven is at room temperature. If the sensor is open (or not within that range) replace sensor.. you did this but have seen bad sensors new, if not check the wiring between sensor and control. If you don't find any loose connections, the problem may be in the control board but the sensor is much cheaper, so testing with a ohmmeter and cking wiring will totally eliminate that. Sensors and control boards can be purchased at AppliancePartsPros.com
or Repairclinic.com. they who I use. they have online chat and 800# to talk with a tec. if needed before ordering or install questions.
Hopefully tis a bad new sensor or loose wire connection.
Hope this helps a little.
SOURCE: error codes F2 and F3
Two months ago I asked fixya about a g.e. oven with a f3 code. that evening a reply suggested I replace the oven sensor. I took the old one to the parts place, told the repairman about the code,and he told me the sensor WAS the problem. I replaced it, and WOW it fixed it! Today it faulted out again. I will pull it again and check it. It was installed correctly.The problem for a f3 fault IS the sensor.

it means bake range over temperature.
have a technician check out the oven temp sensor. you may have a short in wiring or it may need to be replaced.
if problem still persists, replace the clock.

Bake range over temperature, replacing the oven sensor is the easiest and most common solution for this problem.(w10181986) heres the part number
SOURCE: Oven wont light
Mine did that and I found the ignitor for the oven was bad. It was the "glow" type for pilotless ignition and it was burned out. It is supposed to glow bright red and the gas comes on and the oven will light. It was easy to tell that it was bad. But to check it I swapped the broiler ignitor with the oven ignitor and the oven worked.

Hello, I come across this problem quite often, The f1 error code does not always follow that it is a bad EOC (Electronic oven control) This could also be a problem with the touchpad. The way to figure which is bad is turn electric off, access the EOC and pull the wire harness/ribbon tape for the touch pad. Reassemble the range and switch power back on. If you are still getting the F1 it is the EOC..If the F1 clears then your problem is with the Touchpad. If you have any other questions please feel free to comment again. Good Luck!!! Mike
Hi - Typically error code F3 indicates a faulty sensor probe or wiring harness between sensor probe and EOC. Try resetting the range by unplugging it or flipping the circuit breaker off for two minutes (this usually will clear most false error codes). Turn on the range and if resetting the unit proves to be ineffective, I would recommend contacting a professional to move forward accurately.
Hi
F2/F3 Error indicates
a loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the oven temp. sensor itself is
bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue test the oven temp. sensor, it
should read between 1080-1120 ohms, if the rating is more then that and the door
appears to be closing fine then it is the control board that is bad and should
be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
