What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
There may be a problem with the Oven Temperature Sensor, the Control, or the associated wiring.
F3E3 is on the screen, and the maker’s guidance names an oven temperature sensor, the control, or associated wiring as the area to suspect.
Power cycle
Power the oven down at its circuit breaker for one (1) minute; unplugging is the alternative.
Power it up again with the breaker.
Monitor the oven for 1 minute to be sure the code does not display again.
Run the oven to confirm it operates correctly.

If the display shows something close to F3E3, compare it with F3E2 (the oven temperature sensor), F3E4 (a dislocated meat probe or unplugged power attachment) and F3E1 (the lower oven temperature sensor).
