Error codeF3E0
ApplianceRange
F3E0 at a glance
Fault: the oven temperature sensor has failed.
Range: slide-in electric, model numbers starting 664.
Healthy sensor: 1,000 to 1,200 ohms when the oven sits at 77 degrees F.
How the sensor gets judged
First the range loses power, either through its plug or through the house breakers that feed it. Then a meter goes across the sensor. If the number lands inside the 1,000 to 1,200 ohm window, the sensor is fine; if it lands anywhere else, a new sensor is called for.
A meter is needed, so this belongs to a technician. At home, stop after cutting power and jot down the code and model number.
Compare with these codes
F3/E0: a defective sensor or open circuit on 665 model ranges.
Slide-in range owners in San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area can schedule a technician by calling (415) 825-6393. Say F3E0, give the 664 model number and mention if the breakers were switched off. You can also read about Kenmore range repair first.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
