F31 means there is a short in the oven cavity probe circuit. The probe is the one of easiest things to replace. But this could be a control as well. To start, remove power from the range, unplug it. Remove bottom backguard panel, look for two purple wires leading down to a small white connector, which will lead you to a rectangle piece of metal (approx 1 X 3/4in) with one corner tucked in the body and a screw on the other end. This will be located on the right hand side of the back about half way up. Once you remove the screw, twist from the corner, slide out gently. http://b2b.frigidaire.com/support/manuals.asp?user=&NewSearch=New+Search will provide documentation for a part number for the "probe" or may be called "RTD."
I would be glad to provide more detail if you like, I would need more details in return...

may be a real simple , lets try this. unplugh the unit, and uscrew rear panel of the unit, there is a thermostat that may have tripped, very small maybe the size of a quarter, with 2 wires on it, easy to sppot because it will have a small red button atop of it, its resettable, so if it did "trip" melrey reset and your on your way,there are actuallly 2 of theese thermostats on your unit, and actually a more common one to trip would be the one in the control panal, so id prblaby check this one first, to acces it remov eht knobs, then wehere the knobs were are "large plastic lock washers" holding down the control panel, one around earch knob opening, after ermoving htem the control panel will lift up and lean over. i belive there are 4 screws to remove the clock(plenty of slack in wiring no worry)after thats out of the way, if you look down under behind the switch to right is the same resetable thermo(lok for the the red button) and with a small long screw dricer youll be able to reset it, this should cure you issue. sounds like a ton of directions but should take no maore than 20 min, to check em both

It sounds like your oven probe is failing or has failed. The control board could possiblly be bad too

F31 - Shorted Temperature Probe connection
Check the sensor probe connections for damage. Make sure it is plugged into the socket, all the way, when the oven is in use. If the connections are sound, and not separated from their respective contacts, replace the temp probe.
Hello - This manufacturer does not show to have such an error code for a wall oven. However the error codes F30/F31 indicates that the unit either has an issue with the oven sensor, wiring with the EOC or the probe connections is open or shorted. Contact a professional to move forward accurately.
