The f3 error codes flashes on a ge oven and stops all current operations.
F3 code on ge oven.
Oven cavity thermistor open.
You can t test the board but you can test the sensor.
These include the wire harness control board or the oven temperature sensor itself.
This code usually means that the oven sensor needs to be replaced.
There are a few parts that could be causing the fault.
What does it mean.
No matter the case here s what you need to know about that f3 code appearing on your ge oven and what you can do about it.
This code usually means that the oven sensor needs to be replaced.
Check oven thermistor for continuity.
F3 means that your oven thinks your oven sensor is shorted.
The oven fan ran continuously for a couple of hours after oven was on broil.
This code usually means that there is a problem with the keypanel.
Replace if zero or infinite ohms.
When you notice the f3 error code flashing you will also notice that your oven is no longer operating.
The code can become frustrating especially when a manual does not list the problem.
Check oven thermistor for continuity.
The solution is a small part repair that will save money when compared with replacing your oven.
This can be caused by either a bad oven sensor or a bad display relay control board.
You will need to use an ohm meter to check the resistance of the temperature sensor.
For an unknown reason the oven temperature has exceeded a preset threshold.

Replace if zero or infinite ohms.
Key panel touch pad shorted.
Many times it means the keypanel needs to be replaced.
Oven cavity thermistor closed.
The f3 fault code means an open temperature sensor or an open temperature sensor circuit.
How long has this been going on with your ge oven.
You will need to remove and disconnect the oven temperature sensor probe and then check the resistance of the sensor using the ohm meter.
When the f3 code flashes on your ge oven this indicates that there is a fault with the oven temperature sensor.
