ZLINE fits a temperature sensor, called an NTC, to each induction coil. F/3 says one of those sensors has failed or has lost its connection, so the control has no way to judge that coil's heat. ZLINE stove display · also shown as F3 What to do when F/3 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 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 ZLINE ZLINE Kitchen and Bath, a younger American company whose stoves are often bought online. ### Source ZLINE MINR and SINR induction stove user manual, April 2026 (ZLINE file store) ZLINE MINR and SINR induction stoves; F/3 sits in the F group, which covers internal parts. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from ZLINE's own guidance for F/3 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Keep the zone with F/3 switched off. 02 Use other zones only if they work normally. 03 Book a visit; ZLINE tells owners not to attempt this repair themselves. ### Still there? It usually turns into [stove oven heating repair](https://stoverepair.center/services/stove-oven-heating-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do F/3 is not the same as E/1, which reports a coil running too hot. F/3 means the sensor itself has failed or come loose, so the control cannot read the coil at all. ## What you may notice with it. The stove problems F/3 tends to arrive with.

Keep the zone with F/3 switched off. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What is the NTC sensor behind F/3 on my ZLINE? It is a small temperature sensor on the induction coil that reports how hot the coil is. F/3 means it has failed or come unplugged. ### Can I use the rest of my ZLINE top with F/3 on one zone? Keep that zone off. If the other zones heat normally, use them carefully until the visit. ### What is the difference between F/3 and E/5 on a ZLINE? Both involve the coil sensor. F/3 means it failed or is not connected properly, while E/5 means it has come disconnected or moved out of position. --- **[Read on the site: ZLINE induction stove showing F/3 | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/zline-f-3/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
