Oven displays F31; it may not heat correctly.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Shorted oven temperature sensor, sensor wires shorted together, moisture in the sensor connector, or a failed EOC sensor circuit.

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker.

Test sensor: Remove and measure the oven sensor's resistance. A very low reading (near 0 Ω) indicates a shorted sensor. Replace it if shorted.
Inspect wiring: Look for pinched or melted sensor wires touching each other or the chassis. Separate and insulate them or replace them as needed.
Dry connectors: If moisture is present at the connector, dry it thoroughly and apply dielectric grease if recommended.
Replace EOC: If the sensor and wiring are good, replace the EOC.
