If the wiring checks good then always replace the sensor first, even if it checks good at room temperature. They go out of tolerance when the oven is hot during cooking. They are cheap enough. It would be a lot cheaper than replacing the board only to find the problem really was a bad sensor. The sensor connector plug pins also can cause problems so I suggest you cut the plugs off and directly hard wire the sensor with high temp , porcelain wire nuts. The plugs I'm referring to are the ones he disconnects at 1:06 If this fails to solve the issue, then before replacing the board , re-solder the pins on the board for the plug he removes at 1:49 . If you don't know how to solder then take the board to a TV repair shop and have them check the board for cracked or burned cold solder joints. Soldering the pins may be the only alternative available to you if the board is no longer available (as is often the case )

Your comment just saved me a couple hundred dollars. My sensor has appropriate resistance but I replaced it any way and it worked!

So it looks like my sensor gives no reading. I assume its not likely that the sensor AND the control board have gone at the same time. Is there a way to test the control board before I buy a new sensor? I see the sensor isn't a very expensive part but ordering in the part will take time and my family not seeing me fix it instantly is causing them to think I'm in over my head (even though I've handled much harder projects than this).

Im having a similar issue as Dave Leboeuf. At the probe sensor, 1:15 in your video, im reading almost 1100 ohms. But at the 1:55 check, i dont read anything. Is that the wire harness or the probe itself?

Your symptoms point to a failed wire harness since you measured the expected resistance at the probe sensor. Make sure that you plugged the sensor back into the wire harness plug securely before measuring the resistance through the wire harness from the control board. The location of a sensor wire harness failure is often at the plug on the sensor end of the harness. You can fix that type of wire harness plug failure by cutting off the plugs and directly wiring each of the sensor wires to the corresponding harness wires.

Kenmore Elite damn near burnt the kitchen down...only by grace caught it. set for 250 preheat with roast...came in 10 min later and was around 600 degrees, beeping, F10 flashing and burning the roast to nothing...happened fast. Runaway temp... problem is, we have the double oven in the wall. do i need to pull the whole thing out to get to the back (I think i know...) in order to find these sensors/harnesses?...or is there a cheat from inside the ovens?

Well wayne thank you very much for your informative video. I myself have a kenmore oven and it preheats and well thats it. I eventually get a f10 code and i have myself a runaway burning hot oven. I recently replaced the oven relay and i tested and replaced the heating element for bake. It preheats with upper broil element never stops never switches to lower element or stops heating until i come flying into the kitchen like a mad man trying to unplug thst crazy ass runaway oven.

Unplug the range or shut off the house circuit breaker for the range to stop the beeping. You’ll need to leave the range unplugged or the circuit breaker for the range shut off if the beeping resumes as soon as you restore power. Once you find and fix the problem that’s causing the F10 code, the range won’t beep.

i got the code once and reset it but mostly Tv dinners thats should take 20 minutes get burned and melted into a puddle of plastic in only 10 minutes. I bought both sensor and control boars just in case. I'm hoping its as easy to replace as this video looks.

Yes. The F10 code pertains to the oven only. The stove top should work properly and safely.

I checked the oven sensor with the multimeter and it read 1096 and then read the connection to the ecb and it was the same. I replaced the control board and it is still giving me the f10 error code. Could it need a new sensor even though it was reading correctly?

The temperature sensor or the sensor wiring harness could be defective. A short in the sensor wire harness to the metal cabinet of the range can cause the F10 code. Unplug the range and check for resistance between the wire harness and the metal cabinet of the range as shown in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGp4yat6j8zRgbQ.html If you measure 0 resistance or any resistance value during this test, then the wire harness is shorting to the metal cabinet and likely causing the F10 code. Repair or replace the wire harness. If you measure infinite resistance during this test, then the wire harness is likely okay. If the harness is okay, then you’ll likely need to replace the oven temperature sensor because the sensor measures normal resistance at room temperature but is not detecting oven temperature accurately when it heats up.

Thanks for the video. My range is a Kenmore model #970-6876. My problem is pretty much what Ian describes -- oven never stops preheating until things start to burn and the F10 error alarm goes off. Would this also be the broil relay? Resistance measured at the probe is as it should be (1.072). Resistance measured through the harness and probe together is higher (1.998), if that tells you anything.

I have a Kenmore double oven 790.47733407 that occasionally shows an F10 for the lower oven when I lower the oven temperature, for instance, from 220 deg F to 170. It then ran away to a measured (separate thermometer) temperature of 500 deg F. Is there a way to retrieve stored codes for this oven? For some ranges, pressing "cancel (times 3) and then start" yields a more detailed error code that triggers a test mode. A more detailed code then indicates a sensor temperature or a control board failure. Can I do that to track my problem down to root cause? Is my model one that is at risk for a power element to ground failure? It may be that my failure is from an intermittent temperature sensor; I'd like to catch it in the act. Panel inputs include (oven)Light, bake, broil, cook time, warm & hold, stop/clear, delay start, clock, timer set/on, add 1 minute, ^(up), down, for two ovens. Thank you!

An update - The oven temperature ran away again. The temperature as measured was 250 deg F, the setpoint was 180. This time I noted that the upper element was red hot, but there was no control panel indication that it was on. Moments before, it was cycling the elements normally, and the indications on the control panel showed the top and bottom elements turning on and off. Then the cycling, and the clicking of the relays, and the control panel indication of an element on, ceased; but the upper element was red hot.

@@richstevensproductdevelopm2086 There's no way to retrieve stored error codes for that oven. The problem that you're describing in the lower oven could be caused by a stuck relay on the relay control board, a loose wiring connection or a bad temperature sensor. The problem with the upper over that you're describing may be caused by a bad temperature sensor. The F10 error code is generated when the control in the console senses a high temperature measured by the temperature sensor. If the temperature sensor is sending high temperature properly in the lower oven, then the relay control board or the console control board may be at fault. Because this oven has 2 control boards, I recommend that you have a service technician diagnose and repair the problems that you're describing.

@@searspartsdirect update - the broil relay and connection P6 has signs of scorching - black deposits visible on the relay exterior, so that tell me the board/relay has failed. I am curious as to why it would fail. Could the broiler element have drawn too much current? The wiring harness and connections are intact and there was no grounding of the element. Is there a resistance test for the element - if so, what is a typical resistance value? The temperature sensor tested correctly at 500 deg for 15 minutes F and at 60 deg F. This didn't cause the problem, but I did note that the unit was misassembled - heating element power wiring was run directly over a sharp edge on the top of the cabinet, trapped between a vertical rib and the top cover. I have a photo if you get curious.

What relay is it?

I tested the temperature sensor on both ends and it's just over 1100 Ohms. Is the electronic control board the only other thing that can cause this? I wouldn't want to order a $200 part just to find out it's something else.

A shorted temperature sensor wire harness can cause the F10 code even though you measured 1,100 ohms of resistance through the harness and the sensor. To check for a shorted wire harness, unplug the range and disconnect the sensor wire harness from the electronic oven control board. Set your multimeter to measure resistance. Place one meter probe on one of the sensor wires in the sensor wire harness plug and touch the other meter probe to bare metal on the range’s cabinet. You should measure infinite resistance during that test. If the meter detects resistance, then damaged wire insulation is allowing that wire to short against metal inside the range cabinet. Find and repair the wire damage. Repeat the test for the other wire in the sensor harness. Repair that wire if you measure resistance indicating that wire is also shorting to metal inside the range cabinet. If you measure infinite resistance through both sensor wires, then you’ll likely need to replace the electronic oven control board. We’re not aware of other issues that cause the F10 on the type of range shown in the video. If you have a different type of range than the one shown in the video, post the model number of your range and we’ll look for any other possible causes of the F10 code.

Replace the oven temperature sensor probe if you don’t measure near 1,100 ohms of resistance through the probe at room temperature. If you measure near 1,100 ohms of resistance through the oven temperature sensor probe, check the resistance through the entire sensor circuit as shown at 1:42 in the video. If you measure near 1,100 ohms of resistance through the entire sensor circuit, then replace the electronic control board because the control board isn’t accurately detecting resistance through the oven temperature sensor probe.

The AF code on a Maytag dryer typically indicates that the control detects an exhaust air-flow problem. Check the lint screen first. Clear lint from the lint screen and see if the code clears. If not, then you may need to clean the lint screen with water and a soft-bristle brush to remove fabric softener residue that can build up and clog the screen. You may also need to check the flexible vent behind that dryer. Make sure that flexible vent isn’t kinked and clear any debris that you find inside the vent. Clean the exhaust vent that carries exhaust air to the outside of your home. Make sure the damper on exhaust hood on the outside of your home opens properly and isn’t clogged. We hope these tips help. If you need further assistance resolving this problem, give us more details about the issue and let us know the model number of your Maytag dryer.

A bad oven temperature sensor wire harness can cause the F10 code. Unplug the range and check the temperature sensor wire harness as shown at 1:43 in the video. If you don’t measure the right temperature sensor resistance through the sensor wires that connect to the control board, then you’ll need to repair the wire harness. The most vulnerable spot in the wire harness is the plastic plug at the sensor end of the purple wire harness. It may not be connecting the sensor wires to the purple wire harness securely. You may need to cut off both sides of the plastic wire harness clip and connect one sensor wire to one violet wire and the other sensor wire to the other violet wire using ceramic wire nuts. If you measure proper resistance through the sensor wire harness that connects to the control board, check each purple wire for a short to the metal frame of the range cabinet. Here’s a video that shows how to check for a short to the metal frame at 1:35 in the video: www.searspartsdirect.com/article/how-to-test-continuity-on-wire-and-electrical-parts-video.html.
