Oven temperature sensor failure
Unplug the range and check the wire harness connections between the oven temperature sensor and the main control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, measure the resistance of the oven temperature sensor using a multimeter. You should measure around 1,100 ohms of resistance at room temperature. Replace the oven temperature sensor if resistance is off by more than 200 ohms.
Oven overheating
Unplug the range and check the resistance of the oven temperature sensor using a multimeter. You should measure around 1,100 ohms of resistance at room temperature. Replace the oven temperature sensor if resistance is off by more than 200 ohms. If the oven temperature sensor resistance is okay, replace the main control board.
Stuck key
A key on the membrane switch panel is stuck. Try to free the stuck key, press down directly on top of all keys on the membrane switch panel. If that doesn't free the stuck key, press down slightly off-center on all keys. If you can't free the key, replace the membrane switch panel.
Oven door lock failure
Unplug the range and check the wire harness connections between the oven door lock and the main control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the oven door lock.
Main control board communication error
Unplug the range and check the wire harness connections between the main control board and the user interface control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the main control board. If the problem continues, replace the user interface control board.
Partition switch error
This error will display if you didn't install the oven partition in the 5th rack position when using the twin-baking mode. Install the oven partition correctly. If the error code displays when the partition is in the correct position, unplug the range and check the wire harness connections between the partition switch and the main control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the partition switch.
