Easy fix is look at the transformers and the capacitors and the diodes.If it seems that any component has changed its appearence then fix it and replace the F3 fuse(3rd one from the front).
If the magnetron is bad ,then to check that you must know how to use clamp ammeter. let me know if you know how to use clamp meter . I will give you the solution .
NOTE oven has 5000V in it. make sure you dischared the capacitors. Thanks please rate my work
F3 errors can indicate a mag problem. Did you replace both mags?It can also be a door switch. If your fuses are good, you need to inspect the 2 magnetrons. If you have a burned tip on one the waveguide and waveguide cover it will need to be replaced.
the mag's only activate while in cook cycle, it will be hot as normal with toasted subs that are cold in the center. AMP draw the Mag's and ohm the Mag thermal couples
you could have a problem with the microwave circuit. That would really be the only thing preventing the food from heating internally. I would call turbochef and call for warrenty service again. Is the bread comming out nice and toasty. If the blower for the convection circuit is weak or sticking this also cause the same effect of not properly cooked food.
So check microwave circuit and also check the blower.
Hope this helps if you need more in depth advice feel free to ask
Hello. Interesting coincidence, but that error code is for the magnetron/microwave part of the toaster. You will need to have it serviced by someone familiar with the unit, it could be easy and reasonable, if just a fuse blew, but not likely. If the fuse blew, it is 20amps, so something took it out. Call turbo chef, they will get you to the closest servicer, may be able to help you on the phone. Here:http://www.turbochef.com/commercial/site.php?PAGE_TYPE=CONTACT
