I have a Kenmore electric range model no. 9119328813. When I set it to bake it starts to heat up properly (the element starts to get hot) but before it can heat up past 110 degrees the oven beeps, turns off, and displays an -F3- message on its digital screen. The broiler and self cleaning feature do not work and give the same -F3- message. The cook top works. We tried turning the power supply off and on again but -F3- still comes up when you try to use the oven. Pressing the cancel button does make the -F3- message go away but if you try to turn the oven back on again -F3- appears on the screen. I have tried to obtain the owners manual for this oven but no one seems to have one. Can anyone tell me what -F3- means?
F3 - E0
Oven temperature sensor or oven temperature sensor fuse opened
Replace oven temperature sensor or fuse

I have the exact same problem with my range...was told by a local appliance dealer that it has to do with the digital keypad, not necessarily the range itself.
The error code message F3 E0 indicates an open oven sensor circuit. This is the component that regulates the oven temperature.
First disconnect electrical power to the range. Pull the range out & remove the rear panel to the control area. Unplug the 2 violet wires on P3 5-6. You will need to have a meter for testing, set the meter to read ohms (resistance). Place the leads from the multimeter across the 2 violet wires, the meter should read 1080ohms if the sensor is good. If you do not get the correct reading you will need to replace the oven temp sensor.
The oven temp sensor is mounted to the inside of the oven cavity. You will need to remove the lower section of the rear panel to access the sensor connector. Unplug the sensor & slide it back into the oven cavity to remove & replace.
