# Whirlpool stove showing F3 E0

F3 E0 is one of Whirlpool's sensor codes.

## What F3 E0 actually means.

F3 E0 is one of Whirlpool's sensor codes. The control is getting a reading from the oven temperature sensor that it cannot use, and the page names the sensor, the control and the wiring as the parts involved.

Whirlpool stove display · also shown as F3E0

What to do when F3 E0 shows on the stove

### Kind of code Temperature sensor

The thin probe on the back wall of the oven sent the stove a reading it would not trust, or one that kept climbing past the setting. A loose plug behind the stove or a probe knocked against the racks is ruled out before the sensor or the board is replaced. If the oven keeps getting hotter with the controls turned off, switch the stove off at its breaker first.

### Usually leads to Stove oven heating repair

The oven part of a stove that stays cold, heats slowly or bakes too hot or too cool, fixed at the bake and broil elements, the oven igniter, the gas valve or the temperature sensor.

### Shows up as Oven on My Stove Runs Hot or Cold

Recipes take much longer or much less time than they should, cakes burn on the outside and stay raw inside, or an oven thermometer disagrees with the display by more than a little.

### Make Whirlpool

## Questions about F3 E0.

### Can I clear F3 E0 myself?

Turn the oven off. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### My Whirlpool bakes too hot and now shows F3 E0. Connected?

Possibly. A sensor that reads wrong can cause the oven to over- or under-heat before the code appears.

### Where is the sensor for F3 E0 on a Whirlpool?

It is the thin rod on the inside back wall of the oven, near the top.

### Can I cook on the stovetop with F3 E0 on my Whirlpool?

The code is about the oven. The stovetop is usually unaffected, but reset power first and watch for other codes.
