Error code F3/E1 Oven temperature circuit shorted
Appliance Range
Quick answer

F3/E1 on a Kenmore 665 model range is a defective oven temperature sensor or a shorted oven temperature circuit.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F3/E1 Oven temperature circuit shorted 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

Defective oven temperature sensor or shorted oven temperature circuit.

On a Kenmore 665 model range, F3/E1 blames the oven temperature sensor or a short in the oven temperature circuit.

The manual opens with power: disconnect it, or unplug the range. Next in line is the sensor wire harness, which should be reconnected if loose. Past that point the work is technician work: replacing a damaged harness, measuring the sensor resistance with a volt/ohm meter, and replacing the sensor, or the electronic oven control (EOC) when sensor and connections both check out.

Nearby codes

  • F3/E0: sensor defective or circuit open
  • F3/E2: temperature above 575 degrees F in Bake mode
  • F3: a stuck key or sensor message on other ranges
