Error Code Explained
What Does the Wolf F3 Error Code Mean?
F3 on a Wolf range or wall oven indicates the oven temperature sensor circuit is open — the probe has broken internally or its connector is disconnected. Like F2, F3 causes the ERC to shut down oven operation. The technician tests sensor resistance to confirm whether the probe, connector, or wiring is the cause.
