Answer

Hello Mike. 1. Press CANCEL>CANCEL>START to enter the Diagnostics Mode. Verify the sensor temperature reading is at room temperature (typically 50 to 90°F [10 to 32.2°C]) and verify failure code. If failure code does match, then continue. 2. Unplug range or disconnect power. 3. Check all sensor connections on harness and board. 4. Disconnect sensor from harness. 5. Measure sensor resistance between connector pins and confirm reading is between 1000O and 1200O at room temperature. Also measure from sensor connector to sensor casing for possible short. If measurement is not correct, or if short is found, replace sensor. 6. Trace wires and connectors to sensor from control, then back to control. If wire or connection is damaged, replace the harness. If wire or connector is not damaged, replace oven temperature sensor. 7. Reconnect the sensor to the harness. 8. Replace all parts and panels before operating. 9. Plug in range or reconnect power. 10. Press CANCEL>CANCEL>START to enter the Diagnostics Mode and clear the error code. 11. Press CANCEL to cancel the Diagnostics Mode. 12. Press BAKE and START. Observe for longer than 1 minute. 13. If failure does not reappear, stop. If failure remains, unplug range or disconnect power and check wire connections.
