Why dose my kenmore gas stove show me f31 model 790.78572406

Hello, Janice -

There are many ovens in use today. It will help to know the make and model of your oven. You can add that information by choosing Comment and typing in the make and model of your oven

If yours is a Kenmore brand oven, the F31 error code means that the oven temperature probe has shorted out or there is a shorted sensor probe harness connection.

If your oven is a Frigidaire gas oven, then the F31 error code also means there is shorted oven temperature sensor probe or a shorted sensor circuit.

I hope you have the owner's manual for your oven. The F31 error code will probably be described in the manual.

Best wishes.

Thank you for your inquiry, friend!
Based off what you have described your Frigidaire range is displaying an F31 error code and you would like to know what it means. An F31 error code means a shorted probe connection. This could be a possible problem with your sensor probe, control panel, or probe connector. I would recommend performing a reset on your range and you can do that by flipping the household circuit breaker off for at least ten minutes. If that does not correct your issue you may need to seek help from a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. Best of luck! -Matt

Suggested Corrective Action
1. (F30 or F31) Check resistance at room temperature & compare to *RTD Sensor resistance chart. If resistance does not match the RTD chart replace RTD Sensor Probe. Check Sensor wiring harness between EOC & Sensor Probe connector.

2. (F30 or F31) Check resistance at room temperature, if less than 500 ohms, replace *RTD Sensor Probe. Check for shorted Sensor Probe harness between EOC & Probe connector.

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.
