Whirlpool Whirlpool WFE775H0HZ 6.4 cu. ft. Smart Slide-In Electric Range F3E1 Error Fix: Oven Temperature Sensor Shorted

Check the sensor wiring for damaged insulation or pinched wires that could short together. Test the sensor as described for F3E0 — near-zero ohms means short circuit. Replace the sensor and inspect the wiring.
