F3E3 is the narrowest of the F3 sensor messages: only the oven temperature sensor and the associated wiring are named, with no control listed. It appears for ranges.
Reset, then watch
Flip the breaker off and count one minute.
Put the breaker back on.
Check the display for a minute to see whether F3E3 returns.
F3E4 is a meat probe message with its own receptacle check.
F3E1 is close in number and also names the oven sensor.
San Francisco range repair
A code that remains after the reset is a job for a technician. See Whirlpool range repair for San Francisco and Bay Area visits, or call (415) 687-4102 with the model number and a note on the steps you took.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
