Possible Causes

Sensor shorted internally, Wires shorted together or to chassis, Moisture ingress into sensor connector, Faulty control board input

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.
