F3Warning

Hotpoint Oven/Range F3 Error Code

The oven temperature sensor is shorted, causing inaccurate temperature readings.

Common causes

  • Faulty oven temperature sensor
  • Pinched or shorted wiring

How to fix it

  1. Unplug the range.
  2. Locate the sensor and measure resistance; a shorted sensor will read near 0 ohms.
  3. If shorted, replace the sensor.
  4. Check wiring for damage; repair as needed.
⚠ When to call a pro: If sensor resistance is correct but error remains, call a technician.
