Upper oven sensor open

Moderate

Address soon - your appliance may not work properly

Also displayed as: F1

How to Fix

  1. 1

    Unplug the unit.

  2. 2

    Check if any connector is disconnected or loose: inspect sensor connection at CN60 (pins 4 and 5) and CN61 (pins 5 and 6) of Main PCB.

  3. 3

    If connector is loose or disconnected, reconnect and retest.

  4. 4

    If connectors are secure, measure thermistor resistance. Normal: approximately 1.09 kΩ ±10% at 77°F (25°C). Open (infinite) resistance = failed sensor.

  5. 5

    If thermistor resistance is abnormal, replace the upper oven temperature sensor.

  6. 6

    Plug in the unit and enter test mode to verify thermistor reading: Press CLEAR, then press upper BAKE and BROIL simultaneously, then press upper BAKE and BROIL simultaneously again. Display should show current oven temp between 70°F and 90°F at room temperature.

  7. 7

    If thermistor reads normal in test mode but F1 still occurs, replace the Main PCB.
