My problem is not with a gas range, it is a GE free standing electric range with ERC. The oven will reach the desired temperature and operate properly for varying amounts of time then kick out with either code F2 or F3. The fault codes suggested a faulty sensor so I ordered one in and replaced it.
But the codes returned during the test run.
When I checked the fault codes on another web site they suggested that F2 could be high resistance somewhere in the temperature sensor circuit not just the sensor. They listed F3 as an open or shorted oven temperature sensor.
Next I continuity tested the sensor that I had removed to see if it had been faulty at all. I found a low ohm reading of only 750 at room temperature, suggesting that the sensor was faulty.
Next I plan to test the wiring from the sensor to the oven control ERC, but can not seem to find a replacement wire harness listed at any of the parts supplier if I find that the wiring or the connectors are bad.
The ERC (0ven control) seems to be working as it should. Is it possible that it could be at fault and can the ERC clock be tested as well?
There is also a capillary tube inside the oven compartment and I have read that it is a high-limit thermostat. How does the high-limit thermostat tie in with the sensor, or does it?
Please suggest any thing that I maybe over looking.
I thank you in advance.
Fix-it Fergie.

i have the same problem with my oven. i have a GE spacesaver 27 inch built in oven model number JMP28G0V1AD four burner stove top. I go to turn the oven on and it heats up to the temperature and when i go to put my item to be baked it shuts off during baking and displays the F-2 code and the F-3 codes.

Do Not try to perform the below if: Oven is under warranty,You are not handy with a soldering gun, or Are afraid to do this.
The below solution applies only to my in-wall oven with F2 and F3 codes randomly, but presumably will work with other GE models.
I
had the same trouble with a GE in-wall oven. The problem was on the
electrical board behind the keypad. A pin that was soldered to the
board, that was the input for the oven temp sensor, had cracked solder.
So I re-soldered the pin and hopefully it will continue working.
Two months ago I asked fixya about a g.e. oven with a f3 code. that evening a reply suggested I replace the oven sensor. I took the old one to the parts place, told the repairman about the code,and he told me the sensor WAS the problem. I replaced it, and WOW it fixed it!
Today it faulted out again. I will pull it again and check it. It was installed correctly.The problem for a f3 fault IS the sensor.
I had the F3 code, replaced the sensor, no luck. Replaced ERC put old sensor back in and WaLa! Like new again. It may have been bad solder as noted below. Wish I hadn't trashed the old one. But the wife is happy so all is ok.I had the F3 code, replaced the sensor, no luck.

WHIRLPOOL Models SF3, 30'' and 24"
F2 - Oven temperature above specifications Check 8-pin connector from temp. probe to Electronic Oven Control F3 - Open oven temperature probe failure Check wiring, replace oven probe if necessary F4 - Shorted oven temperature sensor failure Check wiring harness, replace oven temperature probe if necessary F5 - Push button stuck or faulty Check for binding of pushbuttons and control panel glass. If OK, replace touch panel F6 - Electronic control logic error (timing) Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC) F7 - Electronic control logic error (lock motor) Replace ERC. F8 - Electronic control logic error Replace ERC.
Turn off the breaker and wait for 5 minutes. the follow this 3 steps: --> After turn the breaker back on, go to the range and press "OFF", "OFF", "START", then click on the "clock set", there is a message on the display saying that do you want to delete the error, at this time press on the "START" again. And wait for a while until the everything on the screen disappear except the clock time. Hope this will fix yours. It fixed mine.
F3 is Open oven temperature sensor
circuit. F4 Shorted oven temperature sensor
circuit . F7 Component failure.
To fix this you need to read oven temperature sensor
circuit at oven temperature sensor ( approx 1000
ohms at room temp); check for cut or pinched wire or loss
of contact, if wirings are ok, then replace the probe.
If hitting clear/cancel won't clear it try unplugging and then plug it back in. My guess is the oven control is bad. Here are the fault codes for this model.
Failure CodeConditionCheck/Repair
F0 or F1
Failed transistor in control
If code cannot be cancelled, replace the Electronic Range Control (ERC) or touch pad
F2
Oven over temp - exceeded 590F with door in unlocked position or 990F with door locked
If actual temp condition occurred, look for welded relay contacts or high resistance connection or any cause in the oven temperature sensor circuit
F3
Open oven temperature sensor circuit
Measure oven temperature sensor circuit at oven temperature sensor (should be approx 1100 ohms at room temp); check for cut or pinched wire or loss of contact
F4
Shorted oven temperature sensor circuit
Same as above; check for melted connector or both leads shorted to ground
F8
Component failure within Electronic Range Control (ERC) effecting temp processing circuits
Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC)
F9
Problem with door lock circuit such as pinched wire between Electronic Range Control (ERC) and door lock switch
Check wiring and test operation of switch

i have the same problem with my oven. i have a GE spacesaver 27 inch built in oven model number JMP28G0V1AD four burner stove top. I go to turn the oven on and it heats up to the temperature and when i go to put my item to be baked it shuts off during baking and displays the F-2 code and the F-3 codes. What do i need to do to fix it.
