Error code F4/E1
Appliance Wall Oven
Quick answer

F4/E1 on a Kenmore 665 wall oven: shorted meat probe. How the probe, jack and harness are worked through.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F4/E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Meat probe shorted.

What F4/E1 tells you

The meat probe is shorted. This is the code on Kenmore 665 model wall ovens.

Working through it

Begin with power off or the oven unplugged. Remove the meat probe and have its resistance read on a volt/ohm meter; 59000 ohms at room temperature is the figure the manual expects, and a probe that misses it is replaced. When the probe tests fine, push it fully into the oven jack and confirm the connection is firm. A damaged or worn jack is replaced. Loose wiring at the jack gets reconnected, and damaged wire harness gets replaced.

Codes to compare

  • F3/E1: shorted oven temperature circuit.
  • F3: oven temperature sensor failure.
