SOURCE: Kitchen Aid ovens - error codes

The F-3 error code typically means you have sensor problem. The sensor is usually mounted in the oven space up near the top of the unit. The first thing to do is turn off the circuit breaker to the oven. Do you have an ohm meter? I suggest if you don't to purchase one. They are relatively inexpensive. Maybe you can borrow one from a friend. Disconnect the sensor from the electronic control and measure the resistance. There should be a wiring diagram in the top of the unit that will help you to locate the sensor wires. Most sensors should read around 1100 ohms at room temperature. If sensor reads as an open circuit or has a very high resistance, it must be replaced. If instead it reads very low, then there is a short in the wiring. Some units have a fuse in series with the sensor. Check to see that the fuse has not blown.

SOURCE: kitchenaid oven door will not stay closed

I had the same problem on my parents Kitchenaid KEMS378GWH0 oven, the door would only close enough to keep the light on. They propped a chair against it to cook. My father replaced the hinges and it worked for about a week. He noticed that pulling outward on the door at the very bottom edge often allowed it to close enough to use.
After completely dismantling the oven to get access to the brackets that the hinges slide into, we found it was not broken. We decided to expand on the only near solution we had and find a way to make the bottom of the door 'push out'. Our solution was very simple. Remove the small metal plate that covers the door insulation. This revealed that the insulation is a braided hollow rope that is held in by small clips that push through holes in the front of the oven. We threaded some small metal rods about 3/8 inch in diameter into the hollow insulation pushed the clips back in to re-attach the insulation, replaced the metal cover plate.
It worked!

SOURCE: kebs208d THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK

HI, this is a major control fault. you will need to replace the Oven control asap if possible. It has failed.

Possible causes--

*Power surge
*Failed logic(IC)
*Oven Temp Sensor failuer that has resulted in extreme temps that has overheated the board.

SOURCE: Kitchen Aid microwave door -- outer glass

Lisa, I do not have a solution, but have the same problem. My KA superba micro has been used about 10 times. While it was off, and while no one was home, the outer glass in the door shattered. I suspect this may be a defect.

GE Dualfuel slide in Serial #C2S995SEL2SS

This means that the Sabbath mode has been enabled. To disable the program, first press and release the Cancel/Off to stop the current programmed bake settings. Then press and hold Settings until Sabbath Mode Off is displayed. See page 14 of the manual for setting the Sabbath mode. The manual is available on the product page: https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/assembly/C2S995SEL1SS . The current link to the manual is https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-85241.pdf . Most GE oven codes are listed here: https://www.geappliances.ca/en/support/knowledgebase/range-oven-function-error-or-fault-codes . The Sabbath Mode symbol is shown at the bottom of the table.

This mode can be used to set the oven temperature for an extended bake (usually for a low temperature) or a programmed bake. It's used by those who strictly keep the Sabbath but want a hot meal ready when the Sabbath ends.

I hope this helps.

We a kitchen aid oven the door was accidentally lock. Can you find out how to open it? Whirlpool owns kitchen aid

  • Look for a manual lever to unlock the oven. If there is one, it will probably swing back and forth horizontally, just below the upper edge of the oven door

  • Swing the locking lever, if one is present, all the way to the left. This should unlock the oven. If there is no manual lever to unlock the oven, it may be unlocked using push-button controls.

  • 3

    Check to see if the oven is in a self-cleaning cycle, or has just completed a self-cleaning cycle. If so, the door will unlock automatically once the oven has finished the cleaning cycle and cooled completely, which may take several hours. You cannot unlock the oven before it has cooled.

  • 4

    Unlock the "Clean/Off" button. Depending on the brand and model of your oven, the button may display both of these designations or just one. If your oven door is locked, but the oven is not warm and is not in a cleaning cycle, unlock it by pressing and holding the "Clean/Off" button.

    Maytag oven says sabBATH what does it mean?

    My Maytag oven also has a "Sabbath" mode and you can check your manual to see how to turn it on/off. I have a different model than yours, but to turn the "Sabbath" mode off on mine, the manual says to press and hold the CLOCK pad/button for five seconds.

    We have a Kitchen Aid double oven that is nearly a year old (builder installed.) We ran the self cleaning option on both ovens (top first) for the first time and now the lower oven no longer works. The...

    First, I would not delay in notifying your builder by phone and then follow up in writing so that you have a record that you have told him about the problem. Your stove may still be under warranty. He should be able to direct you to filing a claim. One question though, does your oven have a "Sabbath Mode" setting? If so, that could interfere with the regular operation of the oven. What style and model number is the oven?

    Maytag single electric built in with a display saying sab bath

    It is in Sabbath mode, used for Jewish holidays. Anyway, hold the cancel button for 3-5 seconds and it should revert back to normal operating mode. It will still bake in Sabbath mode but will not display anything due to the laws regarding observation of the Sabbath

    Dacor ECD230 Sabbath Mode

    You don't need to do anything special.

    Quoting from Daco.com FAQ

    "In our ovens, the cooling and convection fans do not turn off when the oven door opens. The lights also do not turn on. There is no timed shutoff on our ovens, either, meaning that once they are turned on, they will stay on until you manually turn them off. Both of these would be considered violations. Our ovens do not have a special Sabbath button because our ovens already adhere to the laws. When the oven door is opened, there are no changes to the control panel, which would also be a violation. It is best to wait for the small "On" light with the circle around it to go on before opening the oven door, though. This light indicates that the element has gone on, as the oven cycles on and off to maintain the selected temperature. Opening the oven door without this light going on may trigger the element to go on, which can be a violation."
