What the owner can try

  1. Cut power to the oven for 30 seconds.
  2. Reconnect and see if the code comes back.

A return on reconnection needs a closer look by a technician.

Technician checks

  • Open wiring between the oven control and the sensor.
  • The sensor measured against the resistance table.
  • The control board replaced when sensor and wiring both pass.

Two sources, two names

The Frigidaire owner guide files F3 under Communication Error, a wording that differs from the fault sheet’s sensor reading.

Related sensor and communication codes

  • F30 is the open probe connection on the same circuit.
  • F31 is the shorted probe connection.
  • F4 is the shorted sensor of older models.

Frigidaire range service in San Francisco

An oven that shows F3 after the power cut can be booked by calling (415) 319-6371, from San Francisco or the wider Bay Area. Have the displayed code, the model number and the steps already run ready. See Frigidaire range repair.

Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so F3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

F3 is an open or shorted RTD oven sensor on current models.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
