Hi

I keep seeing the f3 error after the oven has heated up some. Doesn't show up every time but when it does it does not go away until I let it completely cool down. I ve checked the temperature sensor (it is within the 10% error of 1100 ohms ). Happens usually at higher temperatures (above 400). Any ways to troubleshoot this ?
I understand that it is old but I d hate to dispose it if the fix is affordable and reasonably easy.

Hi,

Check the door lock latch cam switches like I mentioned in this thread:

FIXED - F3 error code on Kenmore stove 790.75761001

Accidentally pushed Clean and then tried to cancel and pressed clear right away. started getting an F3 code and it locked the oven door. replaced the temp sensor but still getting the F3 code. (don't have the thing to test continuity) what to do?

Remember to disconnect power to your range first.
