Sounds like you covered most of your bases. Only thing left is possible element bad or more probably the power board has a bad relay. The element is easy to replace and not too expensive. Power board is a little more difficult but is pretty expensive.

SOURCE: Oven not about 100 deg. below temperature setting

It's easier to eliminate the element.You can do this two ways;first thing,remove power from unit.Unplug it and you know for sure power is off.Inside the oven you can get to the wiring on element by removing the two screws on the back wall that holds the bracket to the wall.(this works for both elements)Pull the element out and you will see the wires(2).They will be either screwed on or connected with spade clips which pull on/off.Remove at least one wire and use your meter,set on ohms, put a meter lead on each element connector,you should read continuity.If you don't the element is bad,replace it.Give the elements a good visual inspection first,some times you can see where the element burnt out.The other way to get to the wiring by pulling the back panel off the stove.Hope this helps.

How to reset control on my frigerdare gas stove oven , it's flashing F 10. ?

The F10 error indicates a problem with the oven temperature sensor (called RTD = Resistance Temperature Detector on the parts diagram). If this happens while you are heating the oven, then it could be a problem with the relays, thermostat or the oven control board. If it occurs before heating the oven, then it's the sensor, the wiring or the oven control board.

You need to check the resistance at the temperature sensor. Unplug the oven/range first; there should be a wiring diagram on the back of the appliance or behind the control board. At room temperature, you should see 1100 Ohms across the temperature sensor for most Frigidaire ovens/ranges. If the reading is 2500 Ohms or higher, replace the temperature sensor. If the resistance is fine at the sensor, then you need to check if the wiring is damaged between the temperature sensor and the oven control board. Check that there is no corrosion in the wiring harness connections. If the wiring is fine or the error recurs after replacing the temperature sensor, then the oven control board is faulty.

If the oven only displays the error when the oven is heating, check the thermostat. If it's faulty, the resistance will be infinity. If it's good, the result will be zero. For a gas appliance, check the relay that open and close for the gas flow during use. Also check the wiring between these parts and the control board. Note: if the runaway temperature condition continues for too long, the entire range can be damaged. Replace any damaged parts.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model number for links to parts diagrams and price lists, if the parts are available for your appliance.

Oven won't unlock

You sound like you have a temp sensor error. Without knowing your exact model I'd say that you can open the door with a coat hangar , the latch is at the top in the center it is locked to the right (facing the front of the door), and it is spring loaded

Remove the temp sensor and take a ohm reading.
Appliance Tip of the Day: Oven Temperature Sensors Demystified grasshopper%202.gif Everyone knows what thermostats do: turn something on and off based on temperature. If your range has an electronic range control (ERC) board with the digital LED display, it doesn't have a thermostat. You know what I'm talking about, most ERCs look something like this.
tn_tempsensors.jpgRanges with ERCs use a sensor to "feel" the temperature in the oven cavity and sends that information to the ERC. The ERC then makes decisions about about heating the oven and controls the burner (in gas ovens) or heating elements (in electric ovens). Typical styles of range temperature sensors are shown
Inevitably, your range will one day start acting goofy and you'll need to check the oven sensor to see if it's causing a problem. On most ranges, a big clue that the sensor is the problem is if you're getting an F1 error code in your ERC display. So how do you check the sensor? Keep reading.
Oven sensors sense the temperature is the oven cavity by increasing their internal resistance, measured in ohms as the oven's temperature increases. This change in ohm resistance tells the ERC the oven cavity temperature and it turns the heating elements or burner on and off, as needed. Now, hang with me, grasshopper, 'cuz we're getting to the good part.
At room temperature, 70°F, the resistance of the most common sensors used today is 1000-1100 ohms. What this means is that if you pull those sensor wires to measure the sensor's resistance and it reads slap-a$$ open, why, it don't take a rocket scientist like myself to figger out that you got yourself a bad sensor! Wasn't that easy?
Just for grins, I've included the table below to show you the sensor resistance reading at various temperatures. Viva la resistance!
Oven Sensor Resistances Temperature (°F) Resistance (ohms) 100 1143 200 1350 300 1553 350 1654 400 1753 500 1949

Oven temperature way too hot

The ohm's on the temp sensor is adequate if measured at normal room temperature. Next check the wiring from the sensor connector to the control board for continuity. Also verify there isn't any corrosion on the connection to the board. If that is good, visually inspect the control board for burnt areas as that will be the only other component in that function. This control board is NLA but you may find one stashed in someone's old inventory.

F1-1 reading on control board

F1:-1 may appear on your Gemini oven range for various reasons, but the meaning is always the same. The error means that the display relay control board thinks your temperature on your upper double oven range is running away and getting too hot. To fix the error F1-1, check the wire harness between your oven sensor and your control board to make sure the wires are secure and the connections are good. Pull the oven out and remove the back panel on the oven to check the wires connections. If the connections and wires check good, disconnect the wire connection to the oven sensor and check the resistance of the sensor. The resistance should be 1100 ohm at standard room temperature. If the sensor is not good you need to replace it, and if the sensor checks within range replace the display control board. Here is the part to order.



All parts come with a 365 day, any part, any reason return policy.

I have Whirlpool Schott Ceran Accubake range. Got and F3E2 code while oven was in self-cleaning mode. What does this mean?

Hi.

F3 E2 is a temperature runaway error. It means that the control board detected that the oven is too hot. If there is no effective overheating the error occurs because the temperature sensor is shorted.

here the explanation from manual:

F3 E2 : Oven too hot, over heating

Solution:
Test and replace oven temperature sensor.

Before replacement the temperature sensor must be tested. A good sensor will read about 1080 Ohms at room temperature. If the sensor is shorted will only read a couple of Ohms or zero.

If the sensor is good the problem can be the control board, wiring to temperature sensor, or in sporadic cases an heating element that stays always on because of a wiring contact. The last case is quite uncommon.

The most common fault is a defective temperature sensor. The sensor is a probe located inside the oven cavity. The sensor is attached to a two wires connector and held by one or two screws. Disconnect power. Remove the sensor. Undo connector and read Ohms at connector. If there is low impedance replace the probe.

Here a tip explaining how to find parts and diagrams for most aplliances: Where do I find parts and diagrams for my appliance?

Regards.

My maytag gemini duel oven has a F1-2 error and neither oven heats. please help.

To fix the error F1-2, check the wire harness between your oven sensor mounted to the back wall inside your lower oven and your control board to make sure the wires are secure and the connections are good. Pull the oven out and remove the back panel on the oven to check the wires connections. If the connections and wires check good, disconnect the wire connection to the oven sensor and check the resistance of the sensor. The resistance should be 1100 ohm at standard room temperature. If the sensor is not good you need to replace it, and if the sensor checks within range replace the display control board.

Keep us updated.

Screen displays error code f3e2

This code means "BAKE/BROIL range over temperature"
Problem is in either temperature sensor or the control board. Check the temp sensor and wiring from it to the control board first (connector #3, contacts 8 and 10, violet wires) . At room temperature the temp sensor resistance should be around 1080 Ohms. Also check temp sensor for short to ground. If no problems found with the sensor - replace control board.
OBTW - for the broil problem - check the fuse inline with the broil element (continuity between Conn #2, wire 1, blue and conn #4, wire 3, red). It should read several ohms. Good luck!
