How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before cleaning or disassembly.

Steps:

Remove any meat probe from the jack.
Clean the jack thoroughly with a dry cotton swab; do not use excessive liquid cleaners.
Allow the oven to dry completely if steam or spills recently entered the jack.
Restore power and check if the oven still indicates a probe is connected.

If the issue persists:

Inspect the probe jack wiring for shorts or pinched insulation.
Replace the probe receptacle if internal contacts are shorted.
If a new jack does not resolve E31, the control board may be falsely detecting a probe and should be replaced.
