I have a kenmore 911-4658811/ F3/ I replaced part still broke

Since the sensor is new, I'd check the wiring between the sensor and the control board. You need to check for any breaks (loss of continuity). Check the connections for the wiring harness for bent pins or corrosion.

(If you want to rule out a bad sensor, unplug it. Then check the resistance across the pins. Also check for a short between the sensor case and each of the two pins.)

If the sensor and wiring are good, then the control board is probably faulty. Unfortunately, that part isn't available at most sites. There may be some rare places that rebuild or have re-manufactured the electronic control.

I hope this helps.

Hi

Here are the codes for you range:

F0 - E0 Analog to Digital Failure Disconnect for 30 seconds - if display re-appears - replace control F1 - E1Safety flip flopReplace Electronic Range Control/Clock (ERC) F2 - E0Shorted keypadReplace Electronic Range Control/Clock (ERC) F3 - E0Oven temperature sensor or oven temperature sensor fuse openedReplace oven temperature sensor or fuseF3 - E1Oven temperature sensor shortedReplace oven temperature sensor F3 - E2Oven too hotReplace oven temperature sensor F3 - E3Clean temp too hot Replace oven temperature sensorF5 - E0
F5 - E1 and E2 Door latch problemCheck door/latch switch, replace if necessary

Looks like yours is a bad oven control. There is a # at the end of yourmodel # 0-5 that will determine which control it takes. Once you havethat # you can look it up at http://www3.sears.com/ Looks like the part costs about $165.

This range was made by Frigidaire for Kenmore. Thus the F3 error could mean a problem with the temperature sensor, the EOC (electronic oven control) or the wiring between the two. You'll need to get to the back of the range and check the resistance at the sensor. In a ~70 degree F environment, the sensor should have a resistance of ~1100 Ohms. (The sensor is connected to the EOC by a pair of violet wires.) Make sure to rule out a problem with the wires, if the resistance tests out of specifications.

If the sensor gives the correct resistance and the wires are fine, replace the EOC. Please check that you have given the full model number, I can't find this model anywhere at Sears Parts Direct or elsewhere.

If the stove is under warranty, contact Sears for repairs. I hope this helps.

I found this on line don't know if it will help but it might send you in the right direction for testing to determine if it's worth repairing-- sorry
Shortly after a series of power failures I started receiving this error code. Looked up it online and did some extensive research. Everything pointed to a faulty sensor so I purchased a new sensor and installed it today. It didnt help, and testing my old sensor I determined it was also working. In the service manual it stated to do the following corrective action for the F3 - E0/E1/E2/E3 error codes:

Quote: 1. Measure sensor value (between connector pins) between 1000 ? @ 32° F and 2697 ? @ 900° F (room temperature approx. = 1080 ? ). If measurement does not correlate to real temperature, disconnect power, replace sensor and refer to steps 3-5. Also measure from sensor connector to sensor casing for possible short.

2. Trace wires and connectors to sensor, from control, then from sensor back to control. If all connections made and no wire damage, refer to step 3.

3. Disconnect power for longer than 30 seconds

4. Re-apply power and press BAKE and START/ENTER. Observe for longer than 1 minute.

5. If failure remains, disconnect power, replace control, then go back to step 4. I also tested the resistance of the sensors control panel wire harness connector and they are correct. Next step outlined in the service manual is to replace the control board. Sears has the control panel in stock for $177.47. This to me is not worth it over the cost of a whole new oven. Are there any fuses or anything else that could easily or cheaply be replaced before throwing out the oven. Thankyou very much in advance for your time!

The E1-F3 error code means ; defective Oven temperature sensor.

Are you sure about this error? The 91136669891 was made by Whirlpool for the Kenmore line. The 4 character codes for these ranges are F# E# (not two Fs).

Depending on which error you are actually have see below.

If the code includes F3 then you have a problem with the oven temperature sensor (F3 E2 would be temperature too high). You need to replace the sensor. Sears Parts Direct has the sensor for $74.12: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/Kenmore-Parts/Range-Parts/WB21X5301/0022/364/Model-91136669891/0582/0124250?keySuffixId=NA&pathTaken=partSearch&pathRender=modelComponent&documentCompId=P9040087&diagramPageId=00005&productTypeId=x&searchModelNumber=91136669891&subCompDesc=Body&brandDesc=KENMORE&modelDesc=30 . The complete diagram of the oven parts is available here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Range-Parts/Model-91136669891/0582/0124250/P9040087/00005?blt=06&prst=&shdMod= . The sensor is part 253.

If the code includes F2, then double check the second code. Whirlpool has no F2 E3 error that I know of. However, F2 errors tend to be a problem with the keypad. Check the wiring connection between the keypad and the control. This should be firm. Then press Cancel. If the error persists, you need to replace the keypad. See http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/Range-Parts/Model-91136669891/0582/0124250/P9040087/00001?blt=06&prst=&shdMod= for the parts diagram and prices.

I hope this helps.

An F-3 error message usually indicates a problem in the oven temperature sensor or its wiring circuit.

Replace it and that will solve your problem; can purchase at www3.sears.com

Hope helps.

Try changing your oven sensor.

GE JES 1358 WK 01 microwave:
I recently had the same problem with a "flame sensor, " aka "thermal switch." My microwave is a "throwaway" model, very few repair parts available. I didn't want to replace it, so I did a little bit of research into thermal switches. I actually found one that would replace it for about $5 (plus $5 shipping).
Mine uses a "bimetal" thermal switch. There are three kinds of bimetal thermal switches: automatic reset, manual reset, and "one time use." The really interesting thing is this: the "one time use" resets (!!!) if the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees C, or 32 F (freezing); or, in some cases, -31 C, or about -22 F.
I put my "dead" flame sensor in the -10 F part of the freezer for about 20 minutes...
Checked it with my multimeter, and the once-dead sensor now read continuity (zero ohms)!!!
Reinstalled it in the microwave, and now it works fine.
So if you have a dead sensor- try freezing it...
