# KitchenAid range showing F3 E3

F3 E3 points only at the oven temperature sensor and its wiring, without naming the control.

## What F3 E3 actually means.

F3 E3 points only at the oven temperature sensor and its wiring, without naming the control. The oven cannot regulate heat without a believable sensor reading.

KitchenAid range display

What to do when F3 E3 shows on the range

### Kind of code Temperature sensor

The oven sensor sent a reading the control would not accept, or one that climbed well past the setting. A loose plug or a sensor that has drifted is ruled out before the control board, and a temperature that keeps rising means the range is switched off at the breaker first.

### Usually leads to Temperature sensor and thermostat repair

A range oven that bakes hot, bakes slow, takes forever to preheat or posts a sensor code, traced to the sensor probe, the thermostat or the calibration.

### Shows up as Range Oven Temperature Wrong

Recipes burn or come out underdone, and an oven thermometer disagrees with the temperature set on the range.

### Make KitchenAid

A Whirlpool Corporation brand with slide-in and freestanding ranges in gas, electric, dual-fuel and induction versions.

### Source KitchenAid product help: range error codes

KitchenAid ranges with two-part F codes; no series or years are listed on the page.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from KitchenAid's own guidance for F3 E3 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Give the range a one-minute breaker reset.

02

If F3 E3 is back, leave the oven unused and book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [temperature sensor and thermostat repair](https://rangerepair.center/services/temperature-sensor-and-thermostat-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

F3 E3 is not a bake or broil element code.

## What you may notice with it.

### Gas range

Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.

### Electric range

Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.

## Questions about F3 E3.

### Can I clear F3 E3 myself?

Give the range a one-minute breaker reset. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Does F3 E3 on my KitchenAid mean the sensor is dead?

The sensor and its harness are the two suspects. A resistance check on the sensor, then on the wiring, tells which one failed.

### Does F3 E3 on a KitchenAid depend on which cycle I was running?

KitchenAid's page does not link F3 E3 to any one cycle. Whenever it appears, the reset comes first, then a sensor and harness test if it returns.
