RECOMM ENDED REPAIR PROCEDURE
Will only be displayed if user presses and holds "0" key for 5 seconds and there are no pre-
existing faults. Press CANCEL to clear display.
Replace control.
1. Check keypad connector for firm connection.
2. Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 sec., replace keypad.
3. Replace control.
1. Check sensor connection.
2. Measure sensor resistance (1080Ω at 21°C [70°F]; add 2Ω per degree).
If resistance is not valid, replace sensor.
3. If sensor resistance and connections are good, then the oven cavity temperature
must have exceeded a safe level. Check for welded-closed relays on the control.
1. Disconnect meat probe and measure probe resistance: (78kΩ at 15.6°C [60°F];
37kΩ at 32.2°C [90°F] ). If resistance is not valid, replace probe.
2. Insert probe and check for a firm connection between probe and jack (in oven cavity).
3. Check connection between jack and harness (in rear of oven).
1. Check the latch assembly:
- Check latch arm pivot joint, arm/solenoid connection, solenoid spring,
and spring washer.
2. Check the Latch Solenoid:
- Check for firm electrical connections.
- Disconnect the two wires from the solenoid and measure the resistance of
the solenoid. A small resistance (approx. 175 Ω) is normal.
If the solenoid is open (∞ Ω ) or shorted (0 Ω) it should be replaced.
3. Check the Latch Switch: Disconnect it and use a continuity tester:
- Door latched = switch closed, continuity should read 0 Ω.
- Door unlatched = switch open, continuity should read ∞ Ω .
4. Check Door Open/Closed Switch. Disconnect it and use a continuity tester:
- Door open = switch closed, continuity should read 0 Ω.
- Door closed = switch open, continuity should read ∞ Ω .
5. Check power and element connections.
If switch pulse return line is not connected, electronic control will display F6 within 60 seconds
after power up. Replace control.
