Electrolux Oven meat thermometer not working

When your Electrolux oven meat thermometer is not working, the meat probe is the most likely cause. An oven probe that shows an open circuit on a multimeter cannot send an accurate resistance signal as the food temperature changes and should be replaced. A damaged or corroded probe receptacle, also called the probe jack, can prevent the probe from making reliable contact, so inspect the jack and replace it if necessary. If the probe and receptacle test good, the control board may not be reading the temperature signal. Some Electrolux ovens also require the door to be fully closed before the oven probe works. A faulty door switch can fail to tell the control board that the door is closed, so test the switch for continuity when actuated and replace it if it fails. Less commonly, the oven control board itself may be defective. These checks can help diagnose an oven probe not working, a meat thermometer not working, or an oven probe error. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement meat probe, receptacle, door switch, or control board for your Electrolux oven.

01 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Meat Probe

The meat probe resistance changes with the temperature of the probe. If the probe shows an open circuit when tested with a multimeter, the probe is bad and will need to be replaced.

02 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

When the probe is plugged into the jack, the control board monitors the food temperature from the probe. If the temperature probe and jack are good but the control board is not responding, the control board is likely bad.
Common

03 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Door Switch

Some oven meat thermometers will not function properly unless the oven door is closed which activates a door switch to alert the control board that the door is closed. If the door switch is defective, the oven meat thermometer may not work. To determine if the switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for electrical continuity when actuated. If the door switch does test appropriately for continuity, replace it.
Uncommon But Possible

04 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Receptacle

The meat probe jack or receptacle needs to be clean and making good contact with the meat probe. If the receptacle appears corroded or damaged, the component should be replaced.
Uncommon But Possible

05 - Electrolux Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board

When the probe is plugged into the jack, the oven control board monitors the food temperature from the probe. If the temperature probe and jack are good but the control board is not responding, the control board is likely bad.
Uncommon But Possible
