This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Open or shorted lower oven sensor, Damaged lower oven sensor harness, Loose connector at EOC for lower sensor

Safety first: Disconnect power before servicing the lower oven sensor.

Step-by-step checks:

Locate lower sensor: Find the sensor on the rear wall of the lower cavity. Remove screws and pull forward to access the connector.
Measure resistance: Test the sensor at room temperature (~1050–1100 Ω). Replace if out of spec.
Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the sensor to the EOC for damage or loose connections. Repair as needed.
Replace EOC: If sensor and wiring are good but F3E1 persists, replace the EOC.
