What F-3
actually means.
On the SKS 30-inch gas slide-in, F-3 means the control sees a key as shorted, as if it were being held down. SKS's step for any F code on this range is to remove power for five minutes and reconnect.

What to do when F-3 shows on the rangeKind of codeControls and communication
The display, the main board or the induction power board lost contact with one another, or one of them failed its own self-check. A power dip, a loose cable or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a range that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker.
Usually leads toKnobs, switches and controls
Knobs that spin or crack, touch keys that do nothing, blank displays, clocks that reset and control boards that switch the wrong thing.
Shows up asRange Error Code
The range display shows letters, numbers or a flashing symbol, beeps, and stops the oven, a cooking zone or a clean.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from SKS's own guidance for F-3 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the range off at the breaker for five minutes, then restore power.
If F-3 repeats, book a visit so the keypad and control can be checked.
Still there?
It usually turns into knobs, switches and controls. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
F-3 is not a heating code; the oven itself may be fine.

SKS range repair
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.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
Induction range
A glass top that heats the pan itself through copper coils and power boards, over an electric oven, with electronics doing almost all the work.
