Probe light The display is alternately flashing the probe and the bake light. The probe is not connected. I unplugged the stove overnight but the problem returned after plugging it in.

    Am cooking my Turkey and don't know how to operate the probe so that I can get an internal temperature. Can you give me instructions?

    same problem, alternate bake and probe flashing.-

  • Anonymous Oct 17, 2008

    Same bake and probe lights alternating with beeping, occurred mid-cleaning cycle.  After reading here, I also disassembled probe holder.  Didn't see anything amiss, but took alcohol soaked q-tips to clean out inside of probe.  Very dirty.  Reassembled, turned on power, turned on oven and it is fine.  Thanks so much.

I had the same problem today (my wife overflowed a pot of chicken stock last night, so there was liquid all over the cook-top, and some probably got down behind the control pannel). Based on the solution to a problem that seemed similar, though definitely not as exact as your description, I checked the probe connection (unscrewed the retaining nut, then unscrewed the two sheet metal screws holding the housing in place, then gave the probe connection a gentle tug to ensure that it was still properly connected). Finding nothing wrong, I replaced the housing and retaining nut, and the lights were no longer flashing.

Unscrew screws and take back panel off of stove. Find orange and green wire that are together. About middle ways you will see a red connector. Pull this apart to stop the probe from functioning. It's my brother stove and he does not use the probe, so no more annoying beeps and flashes.

Bake and Broil not working

After you hit the function you want...bake or broil...click the up arrow.  That should give you the default temp of 350 and the unit should light.  Now adjust to the temp you want.

KitchenAid Gas Range Temperature Probe

We had the same problem, and we tricked it into running it's cycle be doing the following;

1. Wrap a wet paper towel around the probe, plug it in, and close the door. Then follow the temp. probe directions in the manual:
2. Set probe temp. at 130 degrees, then select a bake cycle. We selected convect bake.
3. Set oven temp for 275 degrees, but maybe any temp over the probe temp would work.
4. Then start. The cycle took 12 minutes to complete, and when it was finished, turn the oven off and then open the door and unplug the probe.
5. Now everything works fine.

Stove controls beeping and flashing "Probe"

Most likely oven sensor / probe is the problem. It can be tested with an ohm meter. Not sure about your model, but most should read around 1100 ohms at room temperature. If there's a tech sheet somewhere on your unit, it should tell you.
