actually means.
Electrolux lists F3, F20 and F26 as a communication error on its earlier electric models. The display and the board that switches power have lost contact.

What to do when F3 shows on the stoveKind of codeControl board and power
The main board failed its own start-up check, lost contact with the display, or saw the supply voltage sag too low, often after a storm, a power outage or a spill that ran down behind the panel. The breaker, the cord and the outlet are ruled out before a board is replaced. A stove that sparks, smells of hot wiring or keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker first.
Usually leads toControl board and display repair
Stoves with a blank or flashing display, touch keys that do not answer, codes that keep returning or a stove that will not turn on, traced to the board, the keypad or the power to them.
Shows up asStove Display Blank or Flashing
The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for F3 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Take the stove off power for as long as 30 seconds.
Restore power and try one element and the oven.
If F3 or its partners return, book a visit; the wiring between the boards is the first thing tested.
Still there?
It usually turns into control board and display repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
F3 is not a heating part failing. The heat parts may work; the boards are not passing orders.
