I'm getting an f3 error on my electric frigidaire gallery oven and range. Was getting an f1 and replace the control board. The sensors and wires all check out fine according to my multimeter. Did this guy sell me another faulty board?

The F3 error code indicates a problem with the oven temperature sensor, the electronic oven control (EOC), or the wiring in between.

SOURCE: getting error code F3 on range. Replaced sensor

The F3 E2 error code indicates that the electronic oven control board in the range senses an over-temperature condition in the oven.

This can be caused by a failed temperature sensor probe, a wiring problem between the sensor and the control board, or a failed electronic oven control board.
If the oven is apparently not overheating when this error code appears, then your likely failure is the temperature sensor probe.
If the oven is overheating, then you likely have a failed electronic oven control board due to a stuck relay not cycling the oven heating element off properly.


For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

SOURCE: Frigidaire FEF352BADB electric range gives

F3 - Open oven temperature sensor (RTD)

Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control. Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.

It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature. If the reading there is wrong, check the sensor resistance at the sensor plug and the wire harness. If there is nothing wrong then replace the control board.

Hope helps.

Frigidaire FEF352BADB electric range gives an F3 error code when oven is turned on. The oven temperature sensor apparently is good as it reads about 1050 ohms. What else can I check and how?

F3 - Open oven temperature sensor (RTD)

Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control. Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.

It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature. If the reading there is wrong, check the sensor resistance at the sensor plug and the wire harness. If there is nothing wrong then replace the control board.

Code F1 and F3

F1 means there is a problem with the control board. F3 implies an issue with the temperature sensors. In your case, having the controller rebuilt or replacing it should fix both of your problems. These can be rebuilt quickly and reliable at a fraction of the cost of buying new. www.fixyourboard.com

You have a faulty keypad. You could probably special order this part from a local appliance parts supply store for 50-60$ or purchase a new microwave.
