Error code 3d/21
Appliance Range

Quick facts

  • Code: 3d/21
  • Condition: defective oven temperature sensor
  • Covers: the Kenmore 665 model freestanding range, in one entry with 3d/11, 3d/12 and 3d/22

How the sensor fault is worked through

  1. Switch off or unplug the range.
  2. Plug stray wires back into the sensor harness; discard a harness that is damaged.
  3. A technician puts a volt/ohm meter on the sensor. If its resistance is not the figure the manual gives, the sensor goes.
  4. With a healthy sensor and healthy connections, the manual moves on to the electronic oven control and replaces it.
