Error codeF3/E2
ApplianceWall Oven
Baking pushed the oven past 575 degrees F, and a Kenmore 665 model wall oven answers with F3/E2.
Sequence from the manual
Shut power off to the wall oven or take the plug out.
Push the oven temperature sensor wire back into its connection where it is loose.
Put in a new wire harness if the old one is damaged.
Handled by a technician
A volt/ohm meter on the sensor, read against 1080 ohms at 70 degrees F, settles whether the sensor is replaced. If sensor and harness both test well, the electronic oven control (EOC) is what gets replaced.
Codes in the same family
F3/E3 describes the equivalent overheating in Clean mode.
For an F3/E2 that persists, Kenmore wall oven repair is a call to (415) 825-6393 away in San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area. Have the code, model number and any steps you took with the sensor wire noted down.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F3/E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
