my kenmore electic range gave me a F03 code 2 hrs. into a 3 hr. self cleaning cycle what does this mean?

Error codes can be a an inconvenience and keep you from cooking up a nice meal. I suggest you add to the thread of this question and include the full model number of your range so that the expert can provide you with a more detailed answer. I am adding a link below that describes what the error code indicates. I hope this helps while you wait for your expert response.

Thank you for your question and I understand your concern.

Without having the model number I can't be sure of your Kenmore model. The fault code "F03" generally indicates a faulty temperature sensor probe. The oven temperature sensor can usually be removed and replaced from inside the oven cavity. The temperature sensor probe will be located in the back of the oven cavity up in the left or right hand upper corner.

Replace the oven temperature sensor and this might help resolve your issue. If you can get me the complete model number I can help you troubleshoot in more detail.

You can look up and order the temperature sensor probe from Sears PartsDirect

If you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired at your home by a Sears technician. Here is a link for the website: Sears Home Services .
