Double oven keeps shutting down - GE Profile JT955 Electric Double Oven

What do you mean by " shutting everything down"?

Good Afternoon Friend,

I see that your Frigidaire double oven heats up for about 15-30 minutes, then shuts down and begins beeping while showing an F3error code. The F3 states that the oven is sensing a potential runaway temperature. This is possibly a sensor issue or it could be a false error code.

I suggest giving your double oven a hard reset by cutting the power at the circuit breaker for at least 2-3 minutes.

After restoring power you will need to reset the clock. You will do this by entering in the time and pressing start.

Let the oven heat up, and if you are still receiving an F3 error code, I suggest either contacting the manufacturer or contacting your local authorized technician to diagnose your appliance. Hope this helps.

There is a couple of things that could cause this. This oven has a cooling fan that is supposed to keep the electronics from overheating. There is a thermo cut-off that is supposed to shut it down if this happens.
If it worked like it should, all you have to do is replace the thermo cut-off and possibly the fan. If it didn't the control board will also have to be replaced.

there should be a 40 amp breaker in your electrical panel turn off and back on again to reset power

F2 - E6 Cancel key drive line open 1. Check keypad connector for firm connection (keypad connects to control board).
2. Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 seconds, replace keypad (also called touch pad or membrane switch). Some models incorporate keypad in to control board as one unit. In this case, replace control board (also called ERC or clock).

NO. Keep doors open so oven can cool. Fan will run.

Hi,
Cycling the power off and then on again will sometimes reset it...often you will have to call the customer service number to get the steps to take to unlock that...

let me know if you don't get the solution... thanks

you will need a top oven thermostat

The problem is they overheat because hot air is drawn in by the blower and overheats the outer chamber of the oven where the thermo fuse link is. The one or two fuse links are blown simple replacement but have to remove oven (two person job) remove outer shell and find it (them) in the back of the oven. Also the fuse link wire going into the main processor is probably blown.
