What does f31 error mean on fregidare gas range

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.

Thank you for your inquiry, friend!
Based off what you have described your Frigidaire range is displaying an F31 error code and you would like to know what it means. An F31 error code means a shorted probe connection. This could be a possible problem with your sensor probe, control panel, or probe connector. I would recommend performing a reset on your range and you can do that by flipping the household circuit breaker off for at least ten minutes. If that does not correct your issue you may need to seek help from a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. Best of luck! -Matt

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

Good Afternoon friend, thanks for your post!

Based off the information you have been able to provide an "F31" error code stands for a shorted probe connection. Typically this means you could have issue with the RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensor probe or the wiring harness between your control panel and probe connector. Since it could be any one of these under lying issues I would recommend a professional come out and properly repair your appliance. Hope this helps. -Matt

God bless you

The F30 error code means the temperature sensor probe is open. First check the wiring, then check the probe. And if necessary, switch to a meat thermometer instead of a sensor probe. F31 is the error for a shorted temperature sensor probe.

hello,

The F31 is an error code indicating that water temperature sensor error. There is a chance that there is a loose wire connection on the water temperature

what you have to do to fix up this is to unscrew (open)ranger then trace the wire down to the reader sensor/panel clean all form of water and dirt around them after all this make sure that all wire are in there position mostly on the panel then couple it back as it was with this the problem of F31 is solve please do this with care

thank you.

Hi here is the meaning of the F30 error code. If you have any other questions please feel free to comment. Mike

F30
F31
Open probe connection.
Shorted Probe connection.
1. (F30 or F31) Check resistance at room temperature & compare to *RTD Sensor resistance chart. If resistance does not match the RTD chart replace RTD Sensor Probe. Check Sensor wiring harness between EOC & Sensor Probe connector.
2. (F30 or F31) Check resistance at room temperature, if less than 500 ohms, replace *RTD Sensor Probe. Check for shorted Sensor Probe harness between EOC & Probe connector.

if it cooler that the temp set its the theromstat f31 sorry don.t know
