Tappan TGF320 Gas Kitchen Range - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Unlock my Tappan Gas Over Door?
Hi wewada,
F3 code error indicates a bad oven temperature sensor (RTD). To fix this error, Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control. Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.
Igniter failure
The igniter is extremely brittle after it has been used. Often times when it fails a small hair line crack can be seen upon physical examination. Although it would appear that contact is still being made, it will not glow and reach the temperature needed for the gas valve to be opened. An Ohms meeter can be used across the two leads after it is removed form circuit I would expect less then 1 ohm on a good one but because even a bad one my be making contact when it is cold as soon as a bad one is energized the gap will open and Ohms will be increased that could not be measured. Just look for a crack, use your finger nail if you feel one it is bad.
Self cleaning oven
After the self cleaning process you might see i wight powdery residue. This can be cleansed out with a damp cloth. No chemicals should be needed. If you use household cleaners you may have some odore when you use your oven so I would just use a damp cloth.
Rat Nest in oven insulation
No the insulation must be replaced . the insulation makes the oven cycle on and off less frequently and also keeps the exposed metal surfaces cooler.

F3 and f2 codes on Tappan stove model 30-3991-00-03
1. Test harness/connections P4 (EOC) and P11 (Surface Element Control Board). 2. If harness checks correct, failure can be caused by faulty UIB, Surface Element Control Board, or EOC. Check harness and connectors from the EOC to Mini Oven Control Board. Check for 15VDC to Mini Oven Control (red and gray wires). If harness and voltage are good replace Mini Oven Control. If fault returns replace EOC.
