Whirlpool Whirlpool WOS51EC0HS 5.0 cu. ft. Single Wall Oven F3E3 Error Fix: Oven Over Temperature (Clean Mode)

The oven exceeded the maximum safe temperature during a self-clean cycle. Self-clean temperatures typically reach 880-950°F. If the oven exceeds approximately 1,000°F, this safety code triggers. The oven door will remain locked until the temperature drops. Possible causes: collapsed insulation, stuck relay on the control board, or a faulty temperature sensor reading falsely low (causing the oven to continue heating). Let the oven cool completely. Do NOT attempt to force the door lock open.
