Error code F3/E1
Appliance Wall Oven
Quick answer

F3/E1 on a Kenmore 665 wall oven: sensor defective or circuit shorted. Steps, technician check and neighbours.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F3/E1 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.

Display shows F3/E1? On Kenmore 665 model wall ovens, that is a defective oven temperature sensor or a shorted oven temperature circuit.

Do and check

  1. Cut power to the oven or unplug it.
  2. Make sure the oven temperature sensor wire harness is seated; reconnect if loose.
  3. Swap out a harness that shows damage.
  4. Leave the resistance test to a technician, who compares the sensor with 1080 ohms at room temperature (70 degrees F) and replaces the sensor if it misses.
  5. With sensor and harness okay, the electronic oven control is replaced.

Neighbouring sensor codes

See F3/E0 for the open-circuit counterpart and F3/E2 for the Bake mode temperature limit.
