Re: My Frigidaire electric range has the f-3 message...
This indicates a failure in the temperature probe. This is easy to check and replace. Here is a link that will walk you thru checking an oven Temperature Sensor .

There could be a connection problem in the electrical outlet the microwave is plugged into or anywhere in that circuit all the way back to your electric breaker panel. It sounds like the microwave is losing power and resetting. WARNING: Any type of electrical work should only be completed by persons qualified to do so.
Good
Afternoon Sandra, thank you for allowing me to assist you!
Typically
error code SE indicates a shorted key on the keypad. Try unplugging the
microwave or flipping the household circuit breaker off first. Wait
approximately ten minutes and turn the unit back on. If the error code
continues to display, then I recommend contacting a professional to make
a precise diagnosis.
There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control
panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very
helpful when troubleshooting, & testing..
I'm not finding the one for for this model online.
At
our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
If it's a convection model, F5 would be a damper door sensing error, which is usually a bad switch.
One of the damper-related components, either the switch
or motor or the damper door may be binding.
The
damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode.
If the controller senses that the door is not in the right position, it
will shut down the cook cycle.
If it's not a convection model, F5 is probably a sensor error.
On some models, "SENSOR ERROR" appears on the display when:
Using
the sensor feature, the door was opened before steam could be detected.
Do not open the door until stream is sensed and time is shown counting
down on the display.
Steam was not detected in the maximum amount of time. Use
Time Cook to heat for more time.
Here's some info from Samsung, which is the actual manufacturer of these ovens:
"Some models are
equipped with a sensor that can automatically adjust the oven's heating
time based on the amount of steam in the oven. If your microwave is
displaying E1, E4, or E5, there may be an issue with the gas sensor.
For an E1 error, press the Cancel button and check on the food.
"Other microwaves do not
give specific error messages and just display "8888" on the LED. If you
get this error message, your microwave needs service.
"If the message is
either ERROR or E-6, it indicates a mechanical fault.
"For all error indications, including the SE or 5E error,
try unplugging the microwave from the outlet for at least ten minutes
and then plug it back in. If the error persists, the microwave may
require service. Please use our ASC Locator to find your nearest Authorized Service
Center."

Hello, please use the chart to determine which stove you have. You will have
to look at the model number. The first 3 numbers will be the series on
the chart. In most cases an F1 error would require replacement of the
electronic control. This part is commonly refered to as an EOC or ERC.
However this type of repair is usually reserved for repair specialists.
KENMORE Range/Stove/Oven Fault Codes – 362 Series (General Electric) F1 = Stuck Touch Pad Key - Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC).
KENMORE - 911 Series (General Electric/Roper) F0-F1-FF = Failed transistor in Electronic Range Control (ERC).
KENMORE Range/Stove/Oven Fault Codes- 665 Series (Whirlpool) F1-E0 EPROM Error - Electronic Range Control (ERC). F1-E1 EPROM Error - Electronic Range Control (ERC). F1-E2 U/L ERC Errors - Electronic Range Control (ERC). F1-E3 Fuel Type Fail
Kill power 30 seconds-Cancel-Start/Enter-5 seconds-Should see “E” for electric- “9” for gas-If code changes again-replace Electronic Range Control (ERC).
KENMORE - 790 Series Electronic Oven Control (Frigidaire) F1 = Shorted Touch Pad = Electronic Range Control (EOC) Internal check sum error. Runaway Temp = Replace Electronic Oven Control (EOC).
Kill power 30 seconds - if error returns - replace Electronic Oven Control (EOC).
I would say the transformer for the power supply has probably shorted, or another major component in the power supply has shorted - This may be repairable if easily spotted, but most likely will not be cost efective.
