The F30 error code indicates that the electronic oven control board detects an "open" oven temperature sensor probe circuit.
This is usually caused by a failed oven temperature sensor probe.

Replacing this component will likely fix your problem.

You can order this part from www.searspartsdirect.com website.

If you replace this part yourself, be sure that you unplug the range to disconnect electrical power before accessing this component.

On some models, you can replace the probe by removing the screws that mount this component to the inside back wall of the oven.
Carefully pull the probe inside the oven cavity until you encounter the wire harness disconnect plug.
Unplug the sensor and replace it with the new one. Mount the new probe on the back wall of the oven.

On some models, you have to remove the lower back oven panel to access the sensor probe.

If you replace the probe and still have this problem, you will need to unplug the range and measure the resistance through the violet wires that plug into the control board (this is where the sensor probe circuit is connected to the control board).
If the resistance through the oven temperature sensor probe circuit is normal (about 1100 ohms at room temperature) then the electronic oven control board will need to be replaced.

Turn on over and get F31.

Hello, Janice -

There are many ovens in use today. It will help to know the make and model of your oven. You can add that information by choosing Comment and typing in the make and model of your oven

If yours is a Kenmore brand oven, the F31 error code means that the oven temperature probe has shorted out or there is a shorted sensor probe harness connection.

If your oven is a Frigidaire gas oven, then the F31 error code also means there is shorted oven temperature sensor probe or a shorted sensor circuit.

I hope you have the owner's manual for your oven. The F31 error code will probably be described in the manual.

Best wishes.

/lfgf3014lbcwhat does f31 mean

Hello Jim, thanks for your post!

From my understanding your Frigidaire range, LFGF3014LBC, is displaying an error code of "F31". The "F31" error code stands for a shorted probe connection which could be an issue with your EOC (Electronic Oven Control), wiring harness, or RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector). I would suggest performing a reset on your range to help clear out any false error codes. You can reset your range by flipping off the household circuit breaker for ten minutes. I hope this information is helpful to some degree. -Matt

What does f31 error mean on fregidare gas range

Good Morning friend, thank you for your inquiry!

From what you have described your Frigidaire range is displaying an "F31" error code. An "F31" stands for a shorted probe connection. This could be an issue with your RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector), EOC (Electronic Oven Control), or wiring harness. I would recommend performing a reset on your range to help clear out any false error codes. In order to reset your range you need to disconnect power from it for roughly ten minutes. If this does not help resolve your issue and you continue to receive the error code you may need to have a professional out to perform a proper diagnosis and repair. This will help you avoid any unnecessary part purchases. -Matt

What is code F31

The F31 error code signifies that the heat sink in your washer got too hot. The motor control unit (MCU) stops the motor and sends the error the the central control unit (CCU) and the CCU resets the MCU. After this happens 4 times the F31 code will show.

It could be an electrical issue in either the MCU or CCU. Many times simply unplugging the unit will fix the problem. Otherwise, service must be called for.
