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.
Yup. That does it !
Took several tries but worked like a charm. Thanks!
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.

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.
