Possible Causes

Shorted or open meat probe, damaged probe jack, probe left plugged in when not in use

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing internal wiring.

  • Remove probe: If a meat probe is plugged into the oven, remove it and clear the error by cycling power.
  • Inspect probe and jack: Check the probe tip and cable for damage. Inspect the jack inside the oven for corrosion or debris.
  • Test probe resistance: Measure resistance across the probe terminals; compare to specifications in the service manual (commonly around 1000–1200 Ω at room temp).

Replace the meat probe or probe jack assembly if defective. If the error persists with no probe connected, the control board input may be faulty.
