Answer to continue safely
Is it safe to keep using?
No. Without a working temperature sensor, the oven cannot regulate heat. Do not use the oven until repaired.
Can I reset the code?
Yes. A power cycle may temporarily clear the code, but F1 will return when the oven tries to heat if the sensor is faulty.
When to stop immediately?
Stop if you notice: If F1 returns after a power cycle, do not attempt oven use., If you smell burning or see discolored wiring, disconnect power immediately..
Symptoms You May Notice
Oven fails to heat up
The oven cavity stays cold after selecting a temperature and starting a cycle, even after 10 or more minutes.
F1 code on display panel
The electronic display shows F1 with audible beeping to alert the user.
Oven shuts off mid-cycle
Heating stops unexpectedly during cooking, and the error appears on the control panel.
Temperature reads zero or dashes

Possible Causes
Failed NTC thermistor
The temperature sensor probe has degraded from repeated thermal cycling, creating an open circuit.
Requires ProfessionalBroken sensor wiring
The wiring harness between the sensor and control board has a break or loose connection.
Requires ProfessionalControl board sensor input failure
The input circuit on the main control board has failed while the sensor itself may be functional.
Requires ProfessionalSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Power cycle the oven
Turn off the oven at the circuit breaker for 2 minutes, then restore power.
This resets the board and can clear transient sensor errors.
-
2
Inspect the sensor visually
Look at the sensor probe at the top-rear of the oven cavity for visible damage.
Do not touch the sensor if the oven was recently in use.
-
3
Check sensor connector
If accessible, verify the sensor wire connector is firmly seated.
Always disconnect power before touching electrical connections.
Tools required
When to Call a Professional
Contact a qualified technician if:
