F3E0 names the oven temperature sensor, control or wiring; the tech sheet says main oven sensor open or shorted.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F3E0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
KitchenAid lists F3E0 as a possible oven temperature sensor, control or wiring problem, with a main oven sensor open or shorted on the technician sheet.
The three sources side by side
Range page: the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the wiring.
Technician sheet: “main (oven) sensor open or shorted”. Only this one line was available. As a general reading, open describes a broken circuit and shorted describes a bridged one; either way the sensor circuit is not reading normally.
Commercial-style pages: reset instructions with no cause.
The sheet agrees with the range page that a sensor is involved, though it is just a brief summary. F3E0 is the code under discussion.
Two reset routines
Standard range page: turn the breaker off for a minute, turn it on, watch for a minute, and check the oven.
Commercial-style ranges: begin by turning the temperature knob to OFF, which cancels the error. When F3E0 persists, choose one of the two power cycles in the text. One leaves the range without power for five minutes, by unplugging it or using the breaker. The other keeps the breaker off for one minute, restarts, and monitors for a minute.
Leave the testing alone
A sensor circuit must be tested by a technician. No owner steps for it are given by KitchenAid.

F3E1: the same sensor text, without a sheet entry.
Is a sensor reading open or shorted a dead sensor? The line says only that the circuit reads open or shorted, and nothing more.
Why two resets? One belongs to the standard range page, the other to the commercial-style pages; they differ in length and in the knob step.
