    Default KitchenAid Range F3 error

    Have a KitchenAid Electric Slide-In/ Drop-In Range Model number KEDC205Y that recently give a F3 error and a loud buzz. Cancel takes care of the buzz. Oven then does not work. What is the cause of the F3 error? Also, once it gave a F2 error code. This has just started to happen and I am afraid to use the oven until I understand the problem.

    Help!
    Thanks

    Yes, the F3 and F2 indicate a bad control board and oven sensor.

    Here is your control board:
    Electronic clock control

    Here is your oven sensor:
    Oven temperature sensor

    Is it both parts - in which case I buy a new stove - or could it be just one part? Can I tell which part is bad?

    Thanks

    Yes, you would need a ohm meter to ohm your oven sensor. At room temperature your oven sensor should read 1100 ohms. If it does, then you would just need the control board.

    You can get an ohm meter at your local radio shack or hardware store or online at the link in this post.

    Where can I find a repair manual for the KitchenAid Electric Slide-In/ Drop-In Range model KEDC205Y? Have not found one on the blog. Need to learn how to remove/ install the parts discussed.

    Thanks.

    Did the check of the sensor and it reads 1,097 ohms. I assume that is close enough that the problem is the control board?

    Thanks - have a great holiday.
