HI, You will need to check the oven sensor wires that link the actual sensor to the main control board. Make sure that the contacts are connected properly, and not loose, or corroded. If all the wiring checks out, test the sensor for the correct resistance readings.(you will need a multimeter for this test)

The most common oven sensor should be approximately, 1100 ohms when at room temperature. The others may be close to as follows:

100°F - 1143 ohms
200°F - 1350 ohms
300°F - 1553 ohms
350°F - 1654 ohms
400°F - 1753 ohms
500°F - 1949 ohms

If the sensor test is adequate, and the wiring is Ok at the control, this will lead to a failed control board. replace the control in this case.

I'm getting a code... e2 -F3-

About all you can do is to cut the power to the oven either by circuit breaker or unplugging the oven. You will need to do this when replacing the part anyway.

F3 code

It's your oven temperature sensor. It's a thin metal stick that juts into the oven. It is located on the upper right back wall of the oven cavity. Flip your breaker, slide out the oven. You install it from the back, very simple, two screws, i think. I'm a beginner at DIY and had no problem fixing it.

F3 code--oven doesn't heat

Deirdre, F3 is a bad temperature sensor. This is the probe that is in the oven that monitors the temp. This is not a hard fix. Depending on who you call hopefully you can get it repaired for under a hundred dollars. If you do it yourself probably under 50.00 for the part...Catriver..post back.
