My kitchenaide gas range "beeps" when the temo is reached - say 350 but it actually takes almost 30 minutes for the oven to actually get to that temp. Why does it beep when the temp was actually +/- 275?

Does anyone know what the code F7;eo means

HI, You will need to check the oven sensor wires that link the actual sensor to the main control board. Make sure that the contacts are connected properly, and not loose, or corroded. If all the wiring checks out, test the sensor for the correct resistance readings.(you will need a multimeter for this test)

The most common oven sensor should be approximately, 1100 ohms when at room temperature. The others may be close to as follows:

100°F - 1143 ohms
200°F - 1350 ohms
300°F - 1553 ohms
350°F - 1654 ohms
400°F - 1753 ohms
500°F - 1949 ohms

If the sensor test is adequate, and the wiring is Ok at the control, this will lead to a failed control board. replace the control in this case.


Additional Information_ The oven control will sound a beep, if there are issues with the resistance transfer between the control and oven sensor. The sensor is located, inside of the oven, on the back side of the inside wall. It will look like a 5 inch probe. You will need to remove the sensor from the back of the unit. be sure to unscrew the screws that hold the housing on the inside of the oven back wall. once they are removed, the sensor can be extracted for testing. Use the sensor contacts for testing.
