Oven
Code F3
high severity
Beko models: Beko ovens have a standard temperature probe at the rear cavity wall. SteamRoast models have a front water tank — empty before cleaning. Beko AeroPerfect fan-assisted models circulate air with a rear-wall fan; fan noise during cooking is normal.
Common causes
- RTD temperature probe wire broken internally
- Probe connector disconnected at the control board
- Probe physically damaged from a spillover
Step-by-step fix
- Locate the temperature probe (a thin metal sensor at the back interior of the oven cavity).
- Test resistance at the probe's connector — open circuit (infinite resistance) confirms a broken probe.
- Inspect the wire run from the probe to the control board for damage.
- Replace the probe — it is typically a straightforward DIY part.

Prevention
- Do not place foil directly over the oven floor — it can trap heat and damage the probe wire.
- Replace the probe if it shows any physical damage after a spillover.
When to stop DIY
If the probe tests good, the harness or control board has the fault.
