I just replaced the oven sensor on my Frigidaire yesterday and I'm still getting the F3 code after cooking at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

"F3" error code means "open sensor".
Locate the sensor plug at the control board, unplug it and check the resistance between the sensor terminals. It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature.
Make sure there is a good connection at this plug.
Pull the oven. Remove the back cover and eliminate the sensor plug, using a high temperature porcelain wire nuts.
If it would not solve the problem, then the control board has to be replaced. Unfortunately this part is no longer available.

Gene. Where on the control panel does the wire plug in from the temp sensor? Thanks

It can be a two, three or five wires plug. Look for the wiring diagram inside the control panel or trace the wires from the sensor.
