Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool.
- Visual inspection: Check the sensor and wiring for signs of moisture, corrosion, or melted insulation.
- Resistance check: Disconnect the sensor and measure resistance. A reading near 0 Ω indicates a shorted sensor.
- Check harness routing: Ensure wires are not trapped against sharp metal edges or hot elements.
- Replace components: Fit a new oven temperature sensor if shorted. If the sensor is normal, the control board may require replacement.
