Oven displays F31; similar to F30 but may indicate a shorted lower sensor.

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 lower oven temperature sensor, Sensor wires shorted to chassis, Moisture in lower sensor connector

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker.

Test lower sensor: Remove and test the lower oven sensor. A reading near 0 Ω or significantly low indicates a short; replace the sensor.
Inspect wiring: Look for spots where the sensor wires may be rubbing against metal or have melted insulation.
Dry connectors: If the oven recently had steam or liquid spills, ensure connectors are dry and corrosion-free.

Note: Replace the sensor with a GE Profile-compatible part to ensure correct temperature readings.
