Quick answer
Kenmore 665 wall oven code F3/E1: temperature sensor defective or its circuit shorted, with the manual steps.
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 thiscode means
Defective oven temperature sensor or shorted oven temperature circuit.
F3/E1 on a Kenmore wall oven
This pair of characters tells the owner of a Kenmore 665 model wall oven that the oven temperature sensor is defective or that its circuit is shorted.
What the manual lists
Disconnect power or unplug the oven. Reconnect the sensor wire harness if it is loose, and replace the harness if damaged. Measuring the sensor’s resistance with a volt/ohm meter is technician work; a sensor not reading 1080 ohms at 70 degrees F is replaced. If the sensor and harness connections are fine, the manual replaces the electronic oven control (EOC).
Compare these
An open circuit rather than a short is reported as F3/E0. F3/E3 reports a Clean mode temperature over the limit, and F3 is the general oven temperature sensor failure code.
