Possible Causes
Damaged meat probe jack, Shorted or open probe wiring, Failed probe detection circuit on EOC
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any panels.
- Remove probe (if inserted): If a meat probe is plugged in, remove it and see if the error clears.
- Inspect probe jack: Check the probe receptacle inside the oven for debris, corrosion, or bent contacts. Clean gently if needed.
- Check wiring: From the rear, locate the probe jack wiring to the EOC. Inspect for damage or loose connections.
- Replace components: Replace the meat probe jack assembly if physically damaged. If wiring and jack are good, the EOC’s probe circuit may be faulty and the electronic oven control should be replaced.
When to call a technician: If your model’s wiring diagram is unclear or you cannot identify the probe circuit, seek professional help.
