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.

Step 01

Signs

• 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
Step 02

Possible Causes

• 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
Step 03

Safety Checks You Can Do

• 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
Always disconnect power before performing any checks. If unsure, contact a certified technician.
