What F3/E2
actually means.
F3/E2 on a Kenmore 665 wall oven reports an overheat: the cavity passed 575°F while the oven was set to Bake. That points to a heating control problem or a sensor giving a false reading.

What to do when F3/E2 shows on the ovenKind of codeHeating
The control asked for heat and the cavity did not warm the way it expected. A bake or broil element that has opened or blistered is the usual answer; the wiring to it and the relay that switches it are checked before a board is blamed.
