F4 error code on JKP18 oven

Getting an F4 code on this oven. I had previously attempted to replace the temperature sensor, but unfortunately did not work. The oven heats sporadically, sometimes superheating (and unable to turn it off except at the breaker), and other times failing to reach a desired temperature. Any ideas on what I need to do? Someone on another website had suggested there might be a short in the ribbon cables, along with a workaround utilizing cardstock, but that didn't work either.

    Thanks Richard. That was actually the first thing I replaced, still no-go.

    OK, then check the wiring harness for a short. If none is found, you will need to replace the control board. Here is that part to order.http://bit.ly/Xl7qtV All parts come with a 365 day, any part, any reason return policy.

    Thanks again. When you say short, should I be looking for where the wiring is exposed, or is there a good way to check for a short?

    Look for exposed wire that may be grounding out or burnt through.

It sounds like this is a common occurance among GE ovens.
Shut off the power at the box, then remove faceplate then remove the keypad.
after doing so, remove it from connector, and clean pins with an eraser.
Make sure the terminals are clean of debris, and check for a reset button on the back of the keypad.
I hope this helped you out.

Get an error code of f4 when trying to set temperature

F3 - F4 Open oven temperature sensor (circuit) (over 2700 ohms) or, shorted oven temperature sensor.

Could be a result of:
· contamination on terminals
· pinched wire in oven temperature sensor circuit
· cold solder joint on control

Possible Solutions:
· Disconnect power to range and remove oven temperature sensor connector from control.
· Measure oven temperature sensor resistance at oven temperature sensor connector (take care not to damage terminals in block) - Should read 1100 ohms at room temperature (approx 72 degrees F).
· Measure each oven temperature sensor lead from connector block to ground. If shorted, look for pinched or cut wire in oven temperature sensor circuit.
· Check connector terminals - Look for deformed or corrosion on terminals. Repair or replace. If all above is ok replace control.

Hope helps.

F4 code Dacor oven

F4 means there is an open circuit in the Oven Temperature Sensor. Could be a bad sensor that needs replacing, cound be an issue with the wiring harness.

A test would be to short the sensor wire together at the sensor. the error code should change to F3. then you would know it is the sensor and not the harness.

F4 error message

HI. This is a failed oven temperature sensor error code. Simply replace the temp sensor, asap. This will clear the code. The temp sensors are generally located inside the oven, mounted on the back wall, in the top left or right corner.

It will look like a 4 inch slim probe.

F4 failed temp sensor.
