6. Either press 0 (zero) to scroll through the previous 4 error codes or press CLEAR/OFF to exit the error code display mode.
Oven temperature sensor is defective (electrically open)
Unplug the range, disconnect the oven temperature sensor and check the resistance of the oven temperature sensor using a volt/ohm meter. The oven temperature sensor should measure around 1080 ohms at room temperature. If the resistance is more than 2950 ohms, replace the oven temperature sensor.
Oven temperature sensor is defective (electrically shorted)
Unplug the range, disconnect the oven temperature sensor and check the resistance of the oven temperature sensor using a volt/ohm meter. The oven temperature sensor should measure around 1080 ohms at room temperature. If the resistance is less than 930 ohms, replace the oven temperature sensor.
Oven not heating
Unplug the range. Check the bake and broil elements for damage. If an oven element is damaged, replace it. Disconnect the oven temperature sensor and check the resistance of the oven temperature sensor using a volt/ohm meter. The oven temperature sensor should measure around 1080 ohms at room temperature. If the resistance is off by more than 200 ohms, replace the oven temperature sensor. Check the wiring between the oven electronic control board and the oven elements for damage and replace any damaged wiring.
Oven overheating
Unplug the range, disconnect the oven temperature sensor and check the resistance of the oven temperature sensor using a volt/ohm meter. The oven temperature sensor should measure around 1080 ohms at room temperature. If the resistance is off by more than 200 ohms, replace the oven temperature sensor. Check the oven electronic control board for burns or melted wires. If the electronic control board is damaged, replace it.
Defective key on the control panel
Unplug the range. Open the control console and make sure that the wire harness is plugged into the oven electronic control board properly. Check the wire harness for damage. If the wire harness is okay, replace the control panel. If the problem persists, replace the electronic control board.
Oven door lock error
Unplug the range. Make sure the wiring harness connections on the oven door lock assembly are secure. Check the oven door lock assembly for damage. Replace the oven door lock assembly if damaged.
Low DC voltage error (below 9 volts DC)
Unplug the range and reconnect any loose wires between the low-voltage transformer and the electronic control board. Replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wiring is okay, replace the transformer. If the problem persists, replace the electronic control board.
Oven electronic control board communication error
Unplug the range and secure any loose wiring connections between the oven electronic control board and the main cooktop control board. Replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire harness is okay, replace the oven electronic control board. If the problem persists, replace the main cooktop control board.
Oven electronic control board communication error with touch panel
Unplug the range and secure any loose wiring connections between the oven electronic control board and the control panel. If the connections are secure, replace the control panel and wire harness assembly. If the problem persists, replace the oven electronic control board.
Cooktop has an error code
Check the cooktop display for error codes. Once the cooktop is repaired, this code should clear.
Internal oven electronic control board error
Unplug the range for 3 minutes to reset the oven electronic control board. If the code appears after you plug the range in, unplug the range and secure any loose wiring connections. Replace any damaged wire harnesses. If the problem persists, replace the oven electronic control board.
Cooktop top temperature sensor error (sensor is electrically open)
Unplug the range and make sure the wire connections between the top temperature sensor and the main cooktop control board are secure. Replace the sensor if the wire harness is damaged. If the wire harness connection is okay, replace the top temperature sensor. If the problem persists, replace the main cooktop control board.
Cooktop top temperature sensor error (sensor is electrically short)
Unplug the range and make sure the wire connections between the top temperature sensor and the main cooktop control board are secure. Replace the sensor if the wire harness is damaged. If the wire harness connection is okay, replace the top temperature sensor. If the problem persists, replace the main cooktop control board.
Cooktop element inverter control board error
An inverter control board sensor is defective (these sensors monitor the inverter control boards that convert AC voltage to DC voltage for induction element heating). Unplug the range and secure the wire harness connection for the inverter control board sensor. Replace the sensor if the wire harness is damaged. If the wire harness is okay, replace the sensor. If the problem persists, replace the inverter control board for the element.
Cooktop over-temperature error
Allow the cooktop to cool and then unplug the range to reset the electronic control boards. If the cooktop continues to overheat, replace the main cooktop control board.
Pan detection error
Use the correct size of iron-containing cookware.
