How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing.
- Identify cavity: On double ovens, F3-1 typically refers to the upper oven sensor.
- Access sensor: Remove upper oven racks, locate the sensor on the rear wall, remove screws, and pull forward.
- Test sensor: Unplug the sensor and measure resistance at room temperature. An open or extremely high reading indicates a failed sensor.
- Check harness: If the sensor tests good, inspect the harness from the sensor to the control board for breaks or loose connections.
- Replace sensor or harness: Install a new JennAir-compatible upper oven sensor if faulty, or repair/replace the harness as needed.
