# GE Oven Error Code F3

GE Oven Error Code F3

This error code indicates a failure in the oven's temperature sensor (RTD probe) or a malfunction in the sensor circuit. The oven cannot accurately read internal temperature, preventing proper cooking and heating cycles.

• Oven will not heat or maintains incorrect temperature
• Error code F3 displays on the control panel
• Oven beeps repeatedly when attempting to preheat
• Cook time does not progress as expected
• Self-cleaning cycle will not start or function
• Digital display shows temperature readings that are inconsistent or unchanging

• Damaged or faulty RTD temperature sensor probe in the oven cavity
• Loose or corroded sensor wiring connections
• Broken sensor wire inside the oven insulation
• Defective oven control board unable to read sensor signals
• 240V power supply issue affecting sensor circuit operation
• Sensor probe covered with food debris or grease buildup
• Failed sensor connector at the main control module
• Power surge damage to temperature sensing circuitry

• Check that your circuit breaker for the oven is in the ON position; if tripped, switch off then back on
• Verify the oven door closes completely and latches securely
• Inspect the oven interior for any visible food debris, spills, or objects blocking the sensor probe area and remove carefully
• Ensure the control panel settings are correct and no buttons are stuck or pressed unintentionally
• Allow the oven to cool completely for at least 30 minutes before attempting any operations
• Power reset the appliance by switching off the dedicated circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then switch back on
• Check that no other high-power appliances are overloading the same circuit, causing voltage fluctuations
• Verify you are using the correct cooking mode and that no demo or test mode is active on the control panel
