Quick answer
F30 on a Kenmore range points to the oven temperature sensor circuit on 790 electric, glass touch, Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel and 2014 models.
Model compatibility
Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F30 Oven temperature sensor 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 thiscode means
Oven temperature sensor circuit open or sensor failure, depending on the series.
F30 is an oven temperature sensor code on Kenmore ranges. The wording differs a little between series.
790 self-cleaning electric range, 2004 and newer
On Kenmore ranges with model numbers starting 790 and built in 2004 or newer, F30 means the oven temperature sensor circuit is open. The manual has a technician compare the sensor probe resistance at room temperature with a resistance chart, replace the probe if it does not match, and check the wiring harness between the electronic oven control board and the probe connector.
Glass touch electric range and Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel range
The Kenmore freestanding electric range with a glass touch panel shows F30 for an oven temperature sensor failure. So does the Kenmore Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel range, models 790.3263, 790.3264, 790.4260, 790.4261, 790.4275 and 790.4276. The manual says to unplug the range. A technician measures resistance through the sensor circuit, replacing the sensor if it is off and the electronic oven control board if it is not.
2014 self-cleaning electric range
Here F30 means the oven temperature sensor probe circuit is open.
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
