Question about GE JKP27 Electric Double Oven
F3 usually means an open oven sensor. Turn off the power. Disconnect the sensor harness from the control. Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter. The resistance should be approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature. If it is greater than 2900 ohms it needs to be replaced. Make certain you disconnect the power before messing with the controls. Look for damaged harness terminals if the sensor checks out to be OK. There should be a set of service instructions in the top of the oven that will help you identify the specific connections for the sensor.

A new sensor fixed me right up!
Thanks powerman!
This problem had been checked out by a "local yokel" which charged a expensive service fee. He said this was in our circuit board which was not available anymore. Fixya contact POWERMAN saved the day. Our church can now fix biscuits on both the bottom AND top ovens!
Thanks Powerman!!
I think someone messed with the self cleaning button on my 15 year old oven. [I had never used self-cleaning.] The bell started ringing and wouldn't stop. We had to shut down the oven at the panel. We did get a "F1" failure code = Failed Transistor in Control. The correction: If code cannot be cancelled, replace the ERC [Electronic Control (ERC-II).
GE no longer makes the ERC replacement part #WB27K5040 - the electronic control - but it is available on internet.
Question: Can just the timing bell be disconnected, or do I need to order the complete control panel and have a service tech install it?
Have the same 1992 GE double Wall Oven model #JKP27WCF1WG with electronic sensor control issue. Top oven does not work. Called Sear Repair, paid $65 for service call to learn that part was not available. Sears would take $65 off in combination with any in store sale. We tried Sears today. They blew us off. Store manager went home early. In frustration tried national Sears cutomer service, same result. Shall purchase tools for business from someone else. In my opinion, shopping at Sears is a stupid decision. What suggestions do you have for repair on our 24" double wall unit?
During oven operation the display will indicate a F3 error and will beep until it is cleared. This may take 20 minutes to occur. Is the oven sensor bad?
