Reading the wrong temperature - Sta Rite Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm High Effiency - Propane Heater - 333,000 BTU

The "F10" error code caused by the runaway temperature.

The first thing I would check is the resistance across the oven temperature probe (aka oven temperature sensor) terminals at the EOC (electronic oven control) plug.

It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature.

If the resistance at the EOC plug is wrong, then measure the oven temperature probe resistance at the probe plug.

If it's wrong - replace the oven temperature probe. It's better to hardwire it, using a high temperature ceramic wire nuts.

If the readings at the EOC and at the oven temperature probe plug are different - check the wire harness between the oven temperature probe and the EOC.

If there is nothing wrong with the oven temperature probe resistance - replace the EOC.
Here is the probe to order.

This may be a wiring issue as the sensor is electronic in nature. Any loose wiring may cause the voltage across the sensor to differ resulting in an inaccurate reading.

F3 - Open oven temperature sensor (RTD)

Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control. Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.

It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature. If the reading there is wrong, check the sensor resistance at the sensor plug and the wire harness. If there is nothing wrong then replace the control board.

Hope helps.

has to be either a sensor or a gauge ,reading the wrong resistance ,try taking some old resistors out of an old tv and putting them in line and seeing then if you get it to read right

No but this sensor is easy to replace. Just pull the sensor from the pipe by loosening the staniless steel clamp that holds it in the pipe. Then follow the wire back into the Aqualink box and unplug. Get a new one at your local store and replace. It's a common problem and you should be able to do it with ease.

Please rate and have a great day:)

Without having parts to try, this would be difficult to know what the fault is. Inside this unit there is a circuit board, and on the outside there is the exernal temperature sensor.

There are only a few things that can go wrong. There is not much that is servicable unless you can find a spare board, or a spare temperture probe. There is very little posiblity that in any practicality this unit can be serviced at the component level.

I would just go out and buy a new unit.
