KitchenAid Oven/stove; Dishwasher Repair – CANTON, OH (Selectra)

A Canton homeowner called us about their KitchenAid Selectra oven displaying an F3 error code that prevented any oven operation. We also installed their new Samsung dishwasher during the same service call. The oven issue was resolved with a temperature sensor replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported their KitchenAid Selectra oven was showing an F3 error and they could not use the oven. They also had a new Samsung dishwasher that needed installation.

Diagnosis

The F3 error code on this KitchenAid oven indicated a temperature sensor failure. This sensor monitors oven temperature and sends readings to the control board – when it fails, the oven shuts down as a safety measure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP8053344 — temperature sensor
• Work performed: Replaced temperature sensor on oven, installed new Samsung dishwasher with supply hose and fittings
• Result: F3 error resolved, oven operation restored, dishwasher operation normal

Is It Worth Repairing?

KitchenAid ovens are well-built appliances that typically provide years of reliable service. A temperature sensor replacement is a straightforward repair that restores full functionality, making it a cost-effective fix for most units under 15 years old.

Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Ovens

• Keep oven vents clear of grease buildup to prevent temperature sensor contamination
• Use the self-cleaning cycle sparingly on KitchenAid ovens to avoid stressing electronic components
• Check door seals periodically – damaged seals can cause temperature fluctuations that stress sensors
