Whirlpool F3-E0 --> already changed RTD..??

Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)

I’m receiving two error codes.

F3 - E0: Oven temperature sensor (RTD) opened (upper oven, if double oven)
F3 - E4: Oven temperature sensor (RTD) opened (lower oven, if double oven)

After about 15 min of use, my oven would beep one of the above codes and then shut off. So, I replaced both sensors in the oven. After replacing the sensors I can get about 45 min out of my oven before one of the codes beep and it shuts off.

I thought I remember reading someone where that the next step would be to replace the control panel/board? Does that seem right?

Thanks

Here are your parts

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

Yes, it could be the control board.
But before replacing it I would check the connections of the sensors on the control board.
Check that they are clean.
Check for a cold solder joint on the connection and for a crack on the copper track.
A magnifying glass will help here.

Cold solder joints are often a duller gray and/or have pinholes.
Also gently wiggle the connector while watching the solder side of the board to be sure that the connector leg does not move in the solder.

Awesome! Thanks. I’ll check it out when I get home and let you know what I find.
