My husband installed this gas range and it was the first time that i tried the oven. the oven does not heat up to the temperature that i was expectine. I tried to cook the meatloaf and put it on 350% after 2 hours the meatloaf is still not cooked. what went wrong?

Does the oven actually heat up with the temperature more than 100 or does it just stay at 100? Alternatively, when you open the oven can you see the orange glow of the flame through the vents in the bottom of the oven and hear the gas hissing?

Does it come on at all? and I mean to gas.

Hi lkanderson97,

This error code F3:E2 means that Oven temperature is too high (Cook mode). The only way to resolve this issue is to replace Oven temperature sensor (RTD). This part can be replaced by your husband. You may contact Sears for the replacement part at 1-800-252-1698; M-F 6:30 AM-10:30 PM - Sat 7:00 AM-9:30 PM - Sun 7:30 AM-9:30 PM - All times Central. Just get your model number ready when you call. Once you got the part instruction is also provided on how you'll replace the sensor.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Have him double check the wire did not come loose from the newly installed igniter

Replace the oven glowbar ignitor. It is too weak to keep the gas valve open.

Control senses oven temperature above 615F-630F


If actual over temperature condition occurred: Look for welded relay contacts on bake or broil relays. If this happens, replace oven control (also called clock or ERC).

If no over temperature condition occurred: Look for a high resistance connection or any other cause of high resistance in the oven temperature sensor circuit. Check sensor, sensor harness and sensor harness connection at sensor and oven control. Replace sensor if found defective.

Remember: Oven control (ERC) measures resistance of sensor circuit , not actual oven temperature.

If your top burners work ok, regulator should be ok. Majority of times the fail part in the oven is the ignitor...turn oven on and check for a flame after 10 mins. small flame could mean a bad safety valve.

gas oven?? i would replacethe bake ignitor, the most common issue with unit not holding temp.

i would def try to replace the bake ignitor. most common problem on any gas range. part problbly $75, $250 for someone to install one
