Error code F031
Appliance Range
Quick answer

Oven temperature sensor probe failure. Here is what the owner's manual says to check on a Kenmore range.

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.

If the display of a Kenmore range reads F031, the oven temperature sensor probe has failed. Covered models: Kenmore 790 freestanding ranges and, separately, Elite slide-in electric ranges numbered 790.4255, 790.4131 and 790.5256.

Manual guidance

  1. Disconnect power from the range.
  2. A technician measures the sensor probe’s resistance with a multimeter. About 1,100 ohms at room temperature is normal.
  3. A reading that is not close means the sensor probe needs replacing.

F030 appears in the same manual entry and is treated identically.

For the owner

Disconnecting power is the safe first move; the resistance test belongs with a technician.

Related codes

  • F030 is the twin of this code in the manual.
  • F045 is a cooling fan speed code, handy if the range shows several faults.
  • F090 is a door lock error.
