What Does Error F3E0 Mean?

The Whirlpool Oven error F3E0 indicates a malfunction in the temperature sensor circuit. This often leads to erratic temperature readings, causing the oven not to heat properly, shut off unexpectedly, or display the error upon power-up. The issue may stem from a defective temperature sensor, damaged wiring, or a faulty control board affecting communication with the sensor.

Common Symptoms:

  • Oven will not heat
  • Oven shuts off shortly after starting a cycle
  • Error appears at power-up or during temperature rise

Possible Causes

  • Defective oven temperature sensor (high)
  • Damaged or loose wiring between sensor and control board (medium)
  • Control board fault affecting sensor communication (medium)

How to Fix Error F3E0

DIY Fix Power reset and basic check

  1. Turn off power to the oven at the circuit breaker.
  2. Wait at least one minute and restore power.
  3. Observe if F3E0 returns.

Technician Only Diagnose and replace temperature sensor

  1. Disconnect oven from power.
  2. Remove back or access panel to locate oven temperature sensor inside the cavity.
  3. Disconnect sensor harness and measure resistance with a multimeter at room temperature.
  4. Compare resistance to expected range (typically ~1080 ohms).
  5. Replace sensor if resistance is outside range.
  6. Reassemble oven and restore power.

Parts needed: Oven temperature sensor, multimeter for diagnosis

Technician Only Inspect wiring and replace if needed

  1. With power off, visually inspect sensor wiring harness and connectors for damage.
  2. Test continuity of sensor wiring to control board.
  3. Repair or replace damaged wires/connectors.
  4. Reassemble and test oven operation.

Parts needed: Wiring harness/in-line connectors

Technician Only Control board replacement

  1. Disconnect power and access control board.
  2. Document connections then remove the control board.
  3. Install compatible replacement board and reconnect harnesses.
  4. Reassemble oven and test.
  5. Verify F3E0 clears.

Parts needed: Control board

🛑 When to Call a Pro:
  • If comfortable diagnostics do not identify defective sensor or wiring.
  • If control board replacement is required.
  • If dealing with internal high voltage areas beyond basic sensor access.
