We have a Kenmore Elite oven and the cleaning lady somehow turned on the probe and we can not get it to turn off. We've tried everything in the manual, but nothing works.
We've tried turning off the breaker even and even that doesn't work.
I don't even HAVE the probe not here when we moved in. Suggestions...??

Re:
If you have already tried turning off the breaker and following the steps in the manual, it's possible that there is a problem with the oven's control panel or the temperature probe itself.
Here are some additional steps you can try:
Unplug the oven and wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in. This may reset the oven's control panel.
Check if the temperature probe is inserted into the oven. If it is, try removing it and see if the oven turns off the probe function.
If the problem persists, you may need to contact a professional technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
If the oven is still under warranty, you can contact the manufacturer or retailer to request a repair or replacement.
It's important to be cautious when attempting to fix any electrical appliance, so if you're not comfortable with troubleshooting or repairing the oven yourself, it's best to seek professio

Hi there, I've had the same problem. The manual said the F11 errorcode indicates that the meat probe hasn't been inserted properly. Ofcourse I do not use the meatprobe for the pyro cleaning, but I decided to insert it anyway. After insterting it I first took it out and turned the oven on. No effect. Then I turned it off, inserted the meatprobe again and turned it on again WITH the meatprobe inserted and PRESTO! everything worked again!
Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.
f 30 is a the oven temperature sensor open, thats the probe in the oven area
Check oven temperature sensor, should be ~1100 ohms at room temperature. If too high or low, replace oven temperature sensor

Thank you for question. I understand your concern with your Frigidaire range. Without knowing the model number I can't be 100 percent certain but F30 generally implies an open oven temperature sensor probe. The oven temperature sensor probe is located inside the oven cavity in the rear upper left or rear upper right hand corner. It can generally be removed and disconnected from inside the oven cavity.
Check the wiring harness connections between the control board and the oven temperature sensor probe connector. Check the resistance or the sensor at room temperature with an Ohm meter, if less than 996 ohms, replace probe. Check with meter, for shorted probe harness between control & probe connector.
. I recommend calling a service technician to diagnose and repair your range.
If you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired at your home by a Sears technician. Here is a link for the website:Sears Home Services
I had a similar problem today with my KitchenAid Superba wall convection oven (2002 model). I was roasting tomatoes at 225 degrees F for 3 or 4 hours when the control pad changed and showed that the probe was in use (never have I used it and had to look for it). I, too, tried to plug in the probe and take it out, but nothing changed. My worry was that I could no longer use the timed bake function. After trying to reset by turning off the oven at the breaker, with no change, I turned on the oven to 400 F and left it on for 10 - 15 minutes hoping that the high temperature would dry out whatever moisture that must have gotten in the place where the probe connects. Then I turned it off and just waited. After a half hour or so the control pad cleared and nothing showed (that is what you want when the oven is off!). Everything is back to working now.
I had the same F30 error problem but fixed it. On my professional series Frigidaire, there are 2 resettable red button locations. I discovered that only one is in the rear of the oven. After going to the breaker box and shutting off the power, pull out the stove enough to work, unscrew the rear screws (I didn't unscrew all of them, just enough to work back there). The small red button is on a small black round piece with two purple wires feeding to it. That was not my problem. Mine was the other red button behind the control panel. Pull off all 4 knobs, unscrew by hand the large black rings that are underneath the knobs, pull out the whole panel. Look back and right (below where the right knobs were located) to find the 2nd red small button. Push to reset. Check this one first since it is easier to do.
