We have the same problem every time the power goes out. We have to plug in the probe and then turn off the circuit breaker to cut the power to the oven. Then we turn the power back on with the probe still connected. Then we turn the dial to bake and remove the probe. It usually works on the first try, but sometimes it takes a couple tries.

    This is what's happening to us. The cleaning lady apparently turned on the probe light, and we can't turn it off. But when we bought the house, we never got the probe so now what?

I had the same problem with a whirpool AKZM 8200 IX oven. I don't even own a probe. I pulled the oven out, opened the back and found the wires coming from where the probe attaches in the oven. I followed the wires and detached them (mine had a connector in the back) and the issue was fixed.

SOURCE: oven will ask for temp probe when i am not using one. it then turns itself off.

As you did not include a model number I can suggest you insert your meat probe into it's receptacle and remove it again quickly about a half dozen times.....maybe even a dozen times. The meat probe plug is like an older style headphone plug. The receptacle that it plugs into may need to complete a circuit for the electronic control. When the probe is not in the receptacle, the receptacle contacts touch to complete a circuit. These contacts may have become dirty from normal oven usage. You will be cleaning these contacts using the probe as I explained. If that doesn't solve the problem you may want to call in a professional.

SOURCE: Superba convection oven probe display problem

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.

GE oven jgs968s0h4ss Probe flashes and beeping whenever I cook

There's probably a short that makes the range think that the probe is connected. It could be the probe socket or the control board. Check the socket first since it can be damaged more often. See the parts diagram here: https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/ModelSectionParts/JGS968SH6SS/4/0/0/0/BODY_PARTS . The socket is part 594. It's reached by removing the side panel.

I hope this helps.

My GE double oven displays a message to set probe. When I press probe it prompts me to input a code (3 dashes)? Can you provide via e-mail what numbers can be used to set probe?

It is asking for the temperature that you want the meat to be. Example if you want your meat to have a medium doneness then usually it is 150F. You would enter 150. The probe will beep when the meat has reached that temperature

My oven displays error f31. It beeps and when I press clear the beeping stops. But if I try and set the temp it reverts back to f31

The F31 fault code indicates a problem with the oven temperature sensor probe. The temperature probe is secured in the top of the inside back wall of the oven. Unplug the range to disconnect electrical power. Open the oven door and remove the racks. Remove the screws that secure the oven temperature sensor probe in the back wall of the oven. Carefully pull the sensor into the oven until you get to the wire harness disconnect plug. Unplug the sensor probe. Do not let the wire harness **** back through the opening in the back of the oven. Check the resistance of the probe with a volt/ohm meter. At room temperature, you should measure about 1100 ohms of resistance. Since you are getting the F31 fault code, you will not likely measure this resistance. If the resistance is bad, replacing the oven temperature sensor probe .This should fix your problem. You can order this part from the www.appliancehelponline.com If the resistance of the temperature probe is normal (1100 ohms), then I recommend that you access the electronic oven control board in the console (with the range still unplugged ). Remove the upper back panel. Pull the P5 connector on the control board and measure the resistance through the purple wires (pins 12 and 13 as shown below) to check the resistance of the temperature probe through the circuit that connects to the board. If the resistance is drastically different than the 1100 ohms measured at the probe, then the wire harness is bad and will need to be replaced. If you measure the proper resistance through this wiring harness at the control board and the connections are good, then the electronic oven control board will need to be replaced.

Keep getting a message that says 'remove probe' but we don't have a probe in. Hit 'cancel' and tried reducing the temp on the oven when this message came up ('remove probe'). I hit 'bake' and tried to...

You might want to try and use a q-tip and some rubbing alchohol and try to clean the inside of the probe connector in the oven. Some liquids or something might be in it causing the control board to think the probe is connected. Make sure to do this procedure with the range unplugged. Then wait about 20 minutes before plugging the range back in. Hopefully that will stop the issue. If not could be a control board problem.

My Jenn Air oven is asking me to remove the meat probe. The only thing I did before it asked me to do that was to turn it try to preheat the oven to 350 degrees

you could have a bad probe receptacle. Or a board problem. Kill power to oven, wait 10 min, cross your fingers and restore power.
