I have a 2 year old Kenmore gas stove and the top burners work but when you turn the stove on it shuts off after 10 seconds and dislays the error code F-31.What could be wrong and is it easy to fix myself.
What is model no?
There's an error code on the digital display
click this side
Door
Lock Mechanism broken or removed from the DoorCheck
Door Lock/Switch AssemblyCheck
the wire harness connections to the Door Lock/Switch Assembly
and Central Control Unit (CCU)Door
Lock/Switch Assembly Failure

d � Diagnostic failure: measurable parameter
Most modern
gas ovens and many broilers use a "glow-bar" style of igniter that
glows red-hot to ignite the gas. If the igniter doesn't reach the
proper temperature, the gas valve won't open. You may need to replace
the igniter.
F 31 ERROR IS TWO DIGIT CODE Diagnostic failure: measurable parameter
Check oven
temperature sensor and wiring first, replace control board
if oven temperature sensor is good
Disconnect power to range
and remove oven temperature sensor connector from control.
· Measure
oven temperature sensor resistance at oven temperature sensor
connector (take care not to damage terminals in block) - Should
read 1100 ohms at room temperature (approx 72 degrees F).
· Measure each oven temperature
sensor lead from connector block to ground. If shorted, look
for pinched or cut wire in oven temperature sensor circuit.
· Check connector terminals -
Look for deformed or corrosion on terminals. Repair or replace.
If all above is ok replace control.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
Initially, pls post back the exact model number.
In the meantime, error code "F-31" indicates that the oven door is unlocked or could not be locked. You may want to try and check the oven door by opening and closing and pls determine if you can hear an audible click or the latching of a lock mechanism.
Alternately, in some versions, error code "F-31" indicates that the system's logic controller has sensed that the RTD sensor probe is defective or a fault at its associated wiring.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.
Check the resistance in ohms of your oven probe at room temp. If its within normal i believe 1100 then it is your control board that is bad. Hope this helps if you need help locating a service center let me know. Please take a moment to accept and rate my solution accordingly.
Thank you,
Lee
F 3-1is the temp sensor bad on some models. you did not put the model # it is pretty easy to change it is the probe you can see it from the oven cavity.
