Error codeF3 E4
ApplianceWall Oven
Start with the probe and the attachment
Depending on the model number, F3 E4 can be caused by a meat probe that has come out of place or a power attachment that is no longer connected.
Meat probe in use: make sure it sits firmly in its receptacle. The receptacle location differs from oven to oven, and the Owner’s Manual shows where it is.
Power attachment in use: some models offer one, and it may have become unplugged. Pull the rack out, check the attachment is in its proper spot, then push the roll-out firmly into the oven until a tone sounds.
Then reset the power
Turn off the oven’s breaker or breakers and leave them off for one minute.
Turn them back on.
Watch the oven for one minute for a repeat of the error.
Confirm that the oven operates.
If the reset does not clear F3 E4, the next step is a technician visit.
Codes next to F3 E4
F3 E5 concerns the lower oven temperature sensor or control, while F3 E6 is another lower oven sensor message.
