F-3 on the SKS 30-inch gas slide-in is a key short error: the control believes one of its keys is being pressed when it is not. For every F code on this model, SKS says to cut power for five minutes and then reconnect. SKS stove display · also shown as F3 What to do when F-3 shows on the stove ### Kind of code Knobs, keys and display A key on the panel was held down too long, reported a press nobody made, or stopped answering; or a knob's switch told the stove it was on when it was off. Water, a spill or grease worked in behind a knob is ruled out first, then the switch, the key panel and the cable to the board. If a burner keeps heating while the keys or knobs do nothing, switch the stove off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Knob and switch replacement Stove knobs that are cracked, loose or spin in place, and the switches behind them that leave a burner stuck on high or dead, replaced at the knob, the stem or the switch. ### Shows up as Stove Error Code The stove shows letters and numbers, a flashing symbol or a short message, beeps, and the oven or a burner stops or will not start. ### Make SKS Signature Kitchen Suite, the luxury built-in brand from LG. ### Source SKS 30-inch gas slide-in owner's manual UPSG3014ST (sksappliances.com) SKS 30-inch gas slide-in UPSG3014ST; F-3 is not in the Pro stove manuals. ## Before you book, in this order.

Turn the breaker off and wait five minutes. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my SKS slide-in show F-3 after I wiped the panel? F-3 means a key reads as shorted. Moisture on the panel can do that; let it dry, cut power for five minutes and reconnect. ### How long should the power be off to reset F-3 on my SKS? SKS says five minutes before reconnecting. ### F-3 keeps returning on my SKS slide-in. What part is it? SKS ties it to a key reading as shorted, so the keypad and the control behind it are checked on the visit. --- **[Read on the site: SKS 30-inch gas slide-in showing F-3 | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/sks-f-3/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
