When the f3 code flashes on your ge oven this indicates that there is a fault with the oven temperature sensor.
This can be caused by either a bad oven sensor or a bad display relay control board.
You will need to remove and disconnect the oven temperature sensor probe and then check the resistance of the sensor using the ohm meter.
These include the wire harness control board or the oven temperature sensor itself.
