Whirlpool Whirlpool WOS51EC0HS 5.0 cu. ft. Single Wall Oven F3E0 Error Fix: Oven Temperature Sensor Open

Error code F3E0 on the Whirlpool Whirlpool WOS51EC0HS 5.0 cu. ft. Single Wall Oven means: Oven Temperature Sensor Open. The oven temperature sensor (RTD — Resistance Temperature Detector) has an open circuit. The oven cannot measure temperature and will not heat. The sensor is a probe that extends into the oven cavity, typically in the upper rear corner, secured by one or two screws. Test the sensor with a multimeter at the connector — it should read approximately 1,080 ohms at room temperature (77°F/25°C). An infinite reading means open circuit. Replace the sensor. The sensor itself is inexpensive ($15-30) and easy to replace.
