I have just purchased second hand a Kitchenaid Superba Selectra stove. I would like to purchase a manual for it and a temperature probe for it. The oven has the outlet in it for the probe. Can you assist me. Thankyou Brian Martin

Hi,

if possible, update all of the bulb lights in your oven and check how they respond when you open various doors on your machine.

If everything works, then it was the bulbs that were the issue. If not, then you might need to reach out to Home Depot and/or Lowe's for a home repair appointment.

Thank you.

sounde like a temperature probe going bad or thermostat out of adjustment .ask your parts dealer if your oven uses a temperature probe or thermostat.

Hi,

Here is what Kitchen Aid says about F4:

F4 Meat probe shorted
1. Disconnect meat probe and measure probe resistance (78kω at 60° F [15.6° C],
37kω at 90° F [32.2° C]).
2. If resistance is not valid replace probe.
3. Insert probe and check for a firm connection between probe and jack (in oven cavity).
4. Check connection between jack and harness (in rear of oven).

It sounds like the probe jack may be bad or the wiring between the jack and the control board above.

I found the answer by checking the Kitchenaid website to find the manual. My model is KEMS308sss04, this is found on the right door frame. Website is: http://shop.kitchenaid.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Use%20and%20Care%20Guide%20-%20W10162223.pdf
You can preheat oven, but then turn off to set thermometer. Put probe in food. Put food in oven and plug in probe. The digital light asks for the temperature you want, type it in. Then the cooking method. I used convection bake at 325. Hit START. (The first time I didn't stop the oven and it didn't work. After stopping everything and starting with the probe before turning on the oven, it worked perfectly. Good Luck.

Press "0".

If i remember correctly i believe this is actually a wiring issue. you would need to turn the power off open the control panel. and look for a control board with the probe connection on it. there should be a tech sheet in the compartment to help you identify it however if it is the problem they would be purple wires on the connector that need to be reversed.
