GE Range Error Code F3

The F3 error code indicates a problem with the oven temperature sensor (RTD sensor) or its connection to the control board. This error prevents the oven from heating properly and is a safety feature to stop cooking operations until the issue is resolved.

Step 01

Signs

• Oven will not heat or maintains incorrect temperature • Error code F3 displays on the control panel • Bake and broil functions are disabled • Range beeps continuously or repeatedly • Unable to start or complete cooking cycles • Temperature display may show erratic readings or be blank
Step 02

Possible Causes

• Damaged or faulty oven temperature sensor (RTD probe) • Loose or corroded wiring connections at the sensor or control board terminals • Failed oven control board or electronic control unit • Broken sensor wire inside the oven cavity • Poor electrical connection due to 240V supply issues at the wall outlet • Buildup of residue or debris on the sensor probe affecting readings • Tripped circuit breaker reducing power to the range's control circuits
Step 03

Safety Checks You Can Do

• Verify that the circuit breaker for the range is in the ON position; if tripped, switch OFF then back ON to reset • Inspect the oven interior for any visible food debris, spills, or obstructions around the sensor area and carefully remove if present • Ensure the oven door closes completely and latches properly without gaps • Check that all control panel buttons are functioning and no buttons are stuck or pressed • Allow the range to cool completely for at least 30 minutes before attempting to use it again • Perform a complete power reset by switching OFF the dedicated circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then switch back ON • Verify the wall outlet is supplying proper 240V power and the range is securely plugged in or hardwired • Check that the range has not been recently moved, as this may have loosened internal connections • Clear any stored error codes by pressing the CLEAR button on the control panel after power reset
Always disconnect power before performing any checks. If unsure, contact a certified technician.
