Oven displays F31, 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 sensor connector, Failed EOC sensor circuit

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker.

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