Error code F031
Appliance Range
Quick answer

F031 on a Kenmore range: oven temperature sensor probe failure. Steps from the manual and when to call.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F031 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

Oven temperature sensor probe failure.

Meaning

F031: oven temperature sensor probe failure, on Kenmore Elite electric slide-in ranges (790.4255, 790.5256 and 790.4131) and, separately, the Kenmore 790 freestanding range line.

How the manual handles it

Power to the range is disconnected first. The resistance of the oven temperature sensor probe is then checked using a multimeter, where roughly 1,100 ohms at room temperature is the expected value. Anything else calls for a new sensor probe. This is work for a technician, so an owner’s part is to unplug the range and report the code.

Neighbouring entries

  • F030 is listed with F031.
  • F033 relates to the meat probe sensor.
  • F046 is a fan speed fault.
