Electrolux Oven Error Code F30 — Open Oven Temperature Sensor
What this means
The F30 error code on Electrolux ovens indicates the control board has detected an open circuit in the oven temperature sensor (RTD probe) or its wiring. The sensor is disconnected, has a broken wire, or has failed internally. Without temperature feedback, the oven cannot regulate heating and will not operate. This is different from F10 (overtemp) — F30 specifically means no signal at all from the sensor.
Alternate codes: F 30
Step-by-step fix
4 stepsCheck sensor connections
Remove the rear cover of the oven to access the control board. Check the oven sensor wires where they plug into the board. Make sure the connector is fully seated and the wires are not pulled out of the connector.
Pulling the oven out from the wall or moving it can sometimes pull the sensor wires loose.
Test the sensor at the board
Disconnect the sensor wires from the control board and measure resistance across the two wires. At room temperature, you should read 1,080–1,100 ohms. An OL (open) reading means the sensor or its wiring is broken.
Testing at the board end checks both the sensor and the wiring in one step.
Test the sensor at the probe
If the reading at the board is OL, go to the sensor inside the oven. Disconnect it and test it directly. If the sensor reads 1,080–1,100 ohms at the probe, the wiring between the sensor and board has a break.
The sensor is usually held in by one or two screws on the back wall of the oven cavity.
Replace the sensor or repair wiring
If the sensor reads OL, replace it. If the sensor is good but the wiring is broken, locate the break and repair it. Install the new sensor, reconnect the wires, and test the oven.
Oven temperature sensors are one of the least expensive and easiest oven parts to replace.
When to call a professional
This is a straightforward DIY repair. Call a pro only if the sensor and wiring test fine but the code persists — that indicates a control board input failure.
