Just purchased a Tappan TEF326FB and oven will not work. Get an error code F30 whenever press Broil or Bake buttons. top elements, clock, timer all work ok. followed manual instructions but can not get past the error code. Took stove back but wonder what the error code means. No phone 3 I called per instructions would tell me; the local warranty folks would not come out until late next week. what is error code F30?

After much effort, and thanks to ABSOLUTELY NO HELP from Lowe's (where I bought this range) OR any of the contact numbers their 1-800-# referred me to (ie. SEARS Appliance repair in Californina, Chicago, etc.) or the the local Warranty repair service here (where we were finally referred to - they were "too" busy" to come look at it until 7 days later on June 25),

I managed to find out that the "F30" error code meant an "Open probe connection". and to "check resistance at room temp & compare to RTD Sensor resistance chart. If resistance does not match the RTD chart replace RTD Sensor Probe. Chck Sensor wiring harness between EOC & Sensor Probe connection". I had no way to troubleshoot all of this or even to know where to look for the RTD probe or the wiring harness hookup. By the time I was able to find out what the error code mean't, I had taken the range back to Lowes where they tried to tell me that they shouldn't take it back because I had bought it a week earlier - even though It sat in the box and was not installed until 7 days after purchased. They finally took it back.
I promptly went to another appliance dealer (not Lowes or Sears) and bought a similar range which worked fine upon hookup. Too much hassle dealing with these folks.
