Try setting the clock

You have either a bad burner or a bad control for same, or bad connections. With power removed use a pair of pliers to crimp the connections (after cleaning the ones on burner) going to the burner.

You can sometimes see the burnout of an element. In some cases it will actually burn a hole or melt a spot in the outer lining of the element. Sometimes it shows nothing. In that case it can only be tested with an ohm meter... Normal reading is approx 15 to 20 ohms. No reading at all means its burned out.

Assuming you've removed the door, lay it down on a blanket and look at the bottom. Usually there are 3 or 4 screws there - remove them. Then remove the 2 screws that hold the handle to the door. At this point, you should be able to separate and remove the outer door & glass panel. 90% of all your spills and drips can be cleaned at this point. I do not recommend taking the rest of the door apart, as it gets more complicated to disassemble and especially re-assemble correctly.

This is a "feature" imposed upon us by those energy-saving freaks and environmentalist-wackos. What you need to do is press and hold the clock button for 12 to 15 seconds. When you first press this button, the display will appear. Then in about 7 or 8 seconds it will disappear. Keep holding it for 12 to 15 seconds until it re-appears. Now if you release the clock button, it should remain on. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/ronald_e6b9572cebe3ad27

I think this means that the oven is over-heating - caused by a relay that is stuck closed on the Electronic Oven Control. You will have to replace that EOC. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/ronald_e6b9572cebe3ad27

According to Kenmore's list of error codes, F1 means EOC (Electronic Oven Control) failure, and the solution is to replace the EOC. You might look into that. The part itself costs around $80, as far as I can see.

The oven ignitor should have a resistance reading of about 3.2 to 3.6 ohms. If the readings are out of this specification or show open replace the ignitor. measure the resistance of the oven valve. The gas valve should have about 1.5 ohms of resistance. If the gas valve is OK, the control board is suspect. The ignitor needs 120vac to work.

Please check that model number again. The one you posted comes up as a refrigerator. Look inside the oven door or the lower drawer.

Here is the GE appliance service website: http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/You will find an amazing source of information there. I hope that this helps! Kim

This code means the control has detected a problem with the door latch switch. Switch is defective and needs replaced. Part # is W10107820 and cost is $39.99. You can get it at http://www3.sears.com/.

is the smoke coming from the element or the bottom of oven?

What is the make and model number?

The knob for the oven should have a setting for self cleaning, just turn it on and walk away for a few hours!

What is the complete model number of your unit?

Could you please describe the problem you are having a little better?

I would thing if you called an appliance service store or retailer and gave them the make and model number of the stove they can sell you one and maybe install it if you need them to but I would thing it would be called the oven switch

Hi Janine.F3 means "Shorted oven temperature sensor" and it is returned when the oven electronic control detects a wrong impedance value from the oven temperature sensor circuit.The oven temperature sensor is a probe located inside the oven cavity. The sensor can be removed from the oven and tested using a multimeter set on impedance. The impedance reading across the two sensor's contacts at room temperature must be about 1100 Ohms. Impedance increment rate is 100 Ohms more for every 50 degrees temperature increase. If the reading is sensibly different from this value the sensor must be replaced.Here the replacement part: Long Oven Sensor KitThe sensor is indicated as part number 11 in the exploded view available here.The sensor is held by two screws. In order to replace the sensor disconnect power, disconnect the connector attached to the sensor, undo the two screws and remove the sensor. Perform operations in reverse order to install the new sensor.Regards.Ginko

Hello,
The F3 error code means that the oven tempature sensor has shorted out,its fairly easy to replace the sensor and it cost around $80 or so. It is located in the oven chamber typically on the upper left side.
If you want to replace it the part number is WB21X5301 it could be purchased at your local appliance parts store or online at;

here is what the sensor looks like
