Why does my oven says f3

F3 error code on a range pertains to a button caught in an incessant shorted state. F3 indicates a short-circuit somewhere in the wire harness leading to a button. It does not necessarily imply the button itself is at fault. An F3 error code on a Kenmore oven model No. The temperature sensor tells the electronic oven control, or EOC, the current temperature in the oven.

Reset the electronic control. Turn the breaker to the OFF position. Wait one minute, then turn the breaker back to the ON position to reset. This needs to be done even if the light or the clock on the range is working. The F3 error code indicates a problem with the oven temperature sensor, the electronic oven control EOC , or the wiring in between.

To test the range someone needs to access the rear of the EOC. The 2 violet wires go from the EOC to the oven temperature sensor. The sensor has been replaced. How do I fix error code f9? The F9 error usually means the door switch circuit system is faulty. This can be addressed by checking the door switch itself. If the reading is higher or lower than that, replace the sensor. If the sensor tests OK, check for any disconnected, broken or burnt wires in the rear of the range.

Reconnect the probe wires and place the probe back through the hole into the oven cavity. Replace the screws that hold the probe in place, and replace the oven's back cover if it was removed. Reconnect the electricity, turn the gas supply back on and slide the range back into place if you pulled it out.

The 2 violet wires go from the EOC to the oven temperature sensor. At 70 degrees the resistance of the sensor should be around ohms. If the sensor checks good, the EOC is defective.

If the resistance of the sensor tests out of specifications another test needs to be made directly at the sensor to eliminate the wires. If you problem is intermittent it becomes more of a problem and is difficult to test.

The intermittent error codes are usually caused by a bad connection which causes the resistance to vary. Is the EOC a circuit board? If so what is the part? The sensor has been replaced. Want to get updates on new answers?
