Leanna,

Do not rush with the parts yet.

The "F3" error code means open or shorted oven temperature sensor.

In order to provide most accurate advice we need the complete model number of the oven.

Hi Gene,
Thank you for your reply. I don't have that information with me right now. I will need to check tonight when I get home and will post an update then.

Hi Gene,
My oven displaying the F3 error code is a white Jenn Aire double wall oven manufactured in 1994. The model number is WW2780W and the serial number is 12462508KF. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you, Leanna

Hi Leanna,

You have to check the oven temperature sensor (#13 on the diagram) for the oven which gives you this error code by measuring its resistance. It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature.

Probably you have to remove the oven from the cabinet because it has to measured at the sensor plug on the back of the oven as well as at the control board plug.

If the sensor checks OK, replace the control board.

- The oven temperature sensor Part number: AP4009009
Part number: AP4009009



- The control board (aka a clock/timer) Part number: AP4283511

Thanks, Gene. I think I may be in over my head and should probably hire someone to do the repair, but this knowledge will be a great help to make sure they don't try to sell me something I don't need. I have a handyman, so I will ask him if he would be comfortable trying this repair based on your information. Otherwise, I will have to call Jenn Aire repair.

Hi, thanks so much for this advice. it saved me several hundred dollars. However, i have a jenn-air W2750W wall oven, and there is no C3 capacitor. However, there is a C1, C5, and C9 capacitor, and i removed and checked them all. The C5 capacitor was dead, and so i replace this, and Viola! the clock display was back to normal. So if anyone has similar troubles, make sure to check all the capacitors. You might need someone with a soldering iron and a little electronic experience, but it'll save several hundred dollars.

Birdbox, the display was out on our Jenn-aire wall oven. We were told we needed to replace the control panel which would have been $165.00 including shipping for the part only.

My husband followed your instructions, went to Radio Shack and spent $1.50, came home and quickly repaired our oven!!

Thank you, thank you thank you!!

Violet Pierce:) :D :)

The capacitor trick did it for me. Nice bright display now. Thank you, and all for a whole $1.63.
