Did you give it time to cool down? If so, probably a control issue.

Hi wewada,

F3 code error indicates a bad oven temperature sensor (RTD). To fix this error, Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control. Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

You probably will need an open-end wrench the right size to fit it.

The igniter is extremely brittle after it has been used. Often times when it fails a small hair line crack can be seen upon physical examination. Although it would appear that contact is still being made, it will not glow and reach the temperature needed for the gas valve to be opened. An Ohms meeter can be used across the two leads after it is removed form circuit I would expect less then 1 ohm on a good one but because even a bad one my be making contact when it is cold as soon as a bad one is energized the gap will open and Ohms will be increased that could not be measured. Just look for a crack, use your finger nail if you feel one it is bad.

After the self cleaning process you might see i wight powdery residue. This can be cleansed out with a damp cloth. No chemicals should be needed. If you use household cleaners you may have some odore when you use your oven so I would just use a damp cloth.

it depend on if it has an electric genitor of a pilot light.

probably a bad controller or relay, get it fixed or replaced.

Thats what mine did its the igniter now my problem is trying to put the the new one in

does the pilot seem low?you can remove the pilot then clean it out,let me know.

You cannot exceed the exact replacement parts for fear of wiring meltdown. If you must get a hotter stove for say a Wok, you must buy a model for a wok. They are out there. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

I would think it is the thermo switch

Does the igniter glow at all?

the oven heats up to a very high heat and turns everything into ash on the inside..

You will need to look and see if the igniter is glowing a bright red. If it is weak, the oven will not light. Here is the igniter if you need to order it.Also check and make sure your getting 3.2-3.6 volts AC to the valve.

Does the igniter glow?

No the insulation must be replaced . the insulation makes the oven cycle on and off less frequently and also keeps the exposed metal surfaces cooler.

1. Test harness/connections P4 (EOC) and P11 (Surface Element Control Board). 2. If harness checks correct, failure can be caused by faulty UIB, Surface Element Control Board, or EOC. Check harness and connectors from the EOC to Mini Oven Control Board. Check for 15VDC to Mini Oven Control (red and gray wires). If harness and voltage are good replace Mini Oven Control. If fault returns replace EOC.

has to be an internal leak in the ovens tube
