Hello,

The F3 error code means that the oven temperature sensor is shorted and not telling the oven control what the temp. is in the oven. Check out this tip i wrote about what to check when the F3(and F4) is displayed http://www1.fixya.com/support/r10343697-error_codes_f3_f4_mean_oven

The F3 code means that the temperature sensor in the oven is not giving the signal to the oven control. This could be the result of a problem with the wiring or the wire harness between the control board and the sensor or indicate that the sensor itself has failed.

To identify the correct parts, you need to provide your oven model number. Try here: http://www.partselect.com/Magic-Chef-Parts.htm . There are other sources for parts.

I hope this helps. If you add a comment with the model number, I'll be glad to give you more specific information for your wall oven.

The F3 - E0 means Oven temperature sensor (RTD) opened (upper oven, if double oven) Replace Oven temperature sensor (RTD)

Note: Applies to all F3-E... codes.

on our maytag a f3 code means shorted or open temperature sensor. do not know if that code is the same as a ge, but you can google your oven model codes and find out what the problem is.

oven went into E2 F3 oven code while cooking a chicken and broil burner came on turned off oven but broil burner stayed lit, then had to unplug

This is a Shorted or open oven temperature sensor (RTD). Check the following.

Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control. Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.


(((F-5)))

This is a Watchdog and hardware conflict.

This is not repairable. you will need to replace the control board or (erc)-(clock)

These are the F2/F3 error codes for a Tappan oven
F2 Oven too hot Check Bake function, if OK, replace oven temperature sensor F3 Oven temperature sensor open Check oven temperature sensor, should be ~1100 ohms at room temperature. If too high or low, replace oven temperature sensor
please take the time to give this solution a fix ya rating.

i think f3 error code has something to do with the temp probe maybe it is the problem. the temp probe is located if you open the door directly in the back wall. it looks like a prong. should read 1100ohms the f2 error code though usually has something to do with the keypad i would check all the connections maybe they are loose.
