F3E3 Meat probe Shorted

shorted meat probe:
the problem could be with the probe, or probe circuit. check the probe look for pinched wire or condensation on the probe receptacle

Swap the leads on the probe jack terminals at the main board

F4 Shorted oven temperature sensor Replace oven temperature sensor

It is asking for the temperature that you want the meat to be. Example if you want your meat to have a medium doneness then usually it is 150F. You would enter 150. The probe will beep when the meat has reached that temperature

This code is displayed when the user attempts to restart the appliance after an
error code 001 or 002
- Safety circuit malfunction
001 if the meat probe is open circuit or the temp of the food is over 100deg c
002 is if the meat probe is short(closed) circuit hope this helps

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.

F8 Shorted meat probe Problem could be with the probe, the receptacle, or probe circuit. Check probe. Look for pinched wire. Look for condensation or contamination on probe receptacle

Measure the resistance of the meat probe on the K-ohm setting. If it's open, then the probe is bad. I'm not finding a spec on the resistance but it should be something in the K-ohm range.

Next stop is to check the meat probe socket. May be gunked up with condensed grease or whatever. Sometimes a light schmear is all it takes to flake it out. Then check continuity from each leg of the meat probe socket back to the ERC, where the meat probe harness connects.

The code indicates an Open or shorted oven temperature sensor. Solution is replace oven temperature sensor Here's a link to a short tutorial on how to make the repair... http://www.applianceaid.com/changingoventempsensor.html

Error U80: Shorted meat probe

1) Food, moisture, or other substance is in the socket or on the oven connection end of the meat probe. Check: Verify proper operation with new probe (replace probe). If still fails with new probe check wiring of housing to eliminate shorting to sheet metal. Solution: Clean socket and meat probe.

2) Bad meat probe (shorted). Check:Use new meat probe to test for correct values in the service screens. Solution: Replace meat probe.

3) Shorted socket or wiring. Check: Test socket at connector J20 on relay board. Solution: Replace meat probe socket.

Functionality when error U80 reported: Cooking and cleaning are available but meat probe options will not be available.

User action/solution:
1) Verify oven connection end of meat probe is clean and no food, moisture or other substance in is the meat probe socket.
2) Call for service.
