Likely Causes
How to Fix It
1
Test the oven temperature sensor resistance at room temperature (approximately 1080 ohms for GE ovens)
2
Wiggle the sensor wire connector while measuring to check for intermittent readings
3
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and recheck the sensor resistance (should be approximately 1540 ohms at 350 degrees F)
4
If the resistance fluctuates or jumps erratically, replace the sensor
5
If the sensor is stable, the control board ADC input may be faulty
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
