# Kenmore wall oven showing F3/E0

On Kenmore wall ovens whose model number starts with 665, F3/E0 means the control sees an open oven temperature sensor circuit, which usually points to the sensor or its harness.

## What F3/E0 actually means.

On Kenmore wall ovens whose model number starts with 665, F3/E0 means the control sees an open oven temperature sensor circuit, which usually points to the sensor or its harness. The control board is the last suspect.

What to do when F3/E0 shows on the oven

### Kind of code Temperature sensor

The reading from the temperature probe fell outside what the control will trust, or climbed far higher than the setting. A loose connector or a probe that has drifted is ruled out before the control itself, and a reading that runs away means the breaker goes off first.

### Usually leads to Temperature sensor and calibration

Baking that comes out burnt or pale at the usual setting, traced to the sensor, its wiring or an oven that simply needs calibrating.

### Shows up as Oven Not Heating

The oven turns on and the display counts, but the cavity stays cold or only lukewarm after a long preheat.

## Questions about F3/E0.

### Can I clear F3/E0 myself?

Switch the oven off at the breaker for a minute, then on. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How do I know if F3/E0 applies to my Kenmore?

Read the model number on the rating label; the meaning here is for models beginning with 665. Other Kenmore wall ovens use a different code list.

### Is Kenmore F3/E0 usually the sensor or the board?

The sensor and its wiring are checked first. The board is replaced only if the sensor circuit tests correct and the code remains.
