Error codeF3E4

What F3E4 suggests
Unlike the other F3 codes, this one is about the meat probe. The manual says the probe or its power attachment may have come loose or been unplugged. It is listed for ranges.
Do these in order
Find the probe receptacle. Its position varies, so look for it inside the oven.
Make sure the probe is fully seated in it.
Turn the circuit breaker off for one minute.
Turn it on again.
Monitor the oven for a minute to see that F3E4 does not display again.
F5 is a door latch code, a different area altogether.

Plain language
What this code means
F3E4 means the meat probe or its power attachment may be dislocated or unplugged; the manual says to verify the probe is seated in its receptacle.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
