F3 is a bad temperature sensor. Look in the top left or right of the oven for a short thin round metal piece sticking out of the back of the oven. Turn off the power to the range. Remove the screws,carefully pull the wires out through the front. Replace it with a new temp sensor and bake away.

Here's how to use the broil function of your wall oven:

Press the BROIL pad. (This will
automatically set HI Broil).
lb. While the set indicator is flashing
in the display, press the BROIL
pad again if you prefer to use
Lo Broil. Use Lo Broil to cook
foods such as poultry or thick
cuts of meat thoroughly without
over-browning them.
2. Press the START pad.
3. When broiling is finished, press
the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Throw the Kenmore junk in the garbage bin

You need to have the thermal coupler replaced in the unit. please be careful on using your unit at this point until this gets fixed.

F2 Oven too hot Replace relay board (if present) or oven temperature sensor

I dislike new electronically contolled ovens so much. Electronics are never meant to be near temperatures reaching more then 200 degress.
F3 or F4 Open or shorted oven temperature sensor Replace oven temperature sensor

could be one of 3 problems: missing 240volts and only have 120volts(one leg out)/bad element(chk for "hot-spot") pitted and discolored-it will soon break there/or the thermocouple is bad that senses oven temp

check the burner it might be clog

sounds like you have a bad ignitor

Check to make sure that you are getting gas to the unit itself. If you are getting gas to the unit from the shut off valve. Then your problem would be the gas valve will need to be replaced. This is the only thing that would not let the gas flow to the unit itsef

1 of 2 things will normally happen and most of the time both things will break. You have two main componets that will wear out 1)your igniter 2)the gas burner tube. Usually what will happen is the gas burner tube allows gas to come out of 3 very small holes-over time and with help from grease, the 3 small holes will turn into a large hole and will allow too much gas to come out and it will destroy your igniter also. Luckly RepairClinic.com sells both pieces in a kit. You can check you igniter with multimeter for continuity (if it is broke-safety kicks in and wont allow gas to work).

Doubt that the glow plug is bad. Gas only needs about 1100 degree F. to ignite using the glow plug method. It really seems as if there may be no gas getting to the burner. If there is no flame, you should be able to smell gas. If there is no gas smell, then I would look for the obvious such as: is the gas turned on?, Does the gas valve on the unit have a safety that is tripped? and so on. A new gas valve may be in order but make sure that it is receiving the proper voltage when the glow plug is on. Lastly, there may be a safety that is malfunctioning. If the unit does not light within a given time, the safety will "Lock Out" the unit so the place doesn't fill up with gas.
Hope this helps and good luck.

PF is the nearly universal code for Power Failure. Most of the time, you will see this if you had just a momentary power interuption. Just clear it and don't worry about it.
Please don't rate this, as anything but a FixYa lowers my score, and for the most part, we do this all for free, so ratings are our reward.

there is a small bathtub shaped can that the gas line goes into under the broiler this releases the gas to the ignitor module replace it

yes you can send comments further.to get more help. but after changing the required part it will be solved.because youy are going in right direction.the fault is clear.call the technician and he will get it done.nothing to worry. please do accept the solution. thanks in advance. keep updated. thank you for using fixya.

no are you thick its a gas oven

there is a second ignitor for the oven unlatch bottom panel remove heat panel there is your burner and ignitor

At the risk of stating the obvious, you have pushed down the igniter switch long enough for the thermo couple to pick up the naked flame and therefore hold the gas valve in the open position? Usual only about 10 secs but can be up to 30....
