Brown Oven meat thermometer not working
If your Brown oven meat thermometer is not working, the meat probe is the most likely cause. The probe changes resistance as its temperature changes, and an open circuit during a multimeter test indicates that the probe is defective and needs replacement. A bad probe can cause an oven probe error, make the oven thermometer read incorrectly, or leave the temp probe not working at all. If the probe tests good, the range control board may not be reading the food temperature through the probe jack. Next, check the door switch. Some Brown ovens require the door to be closed before the meat thermometer operates, and a defective switch can prevent the control board from receiving the door-closed signal. The probe receptacle is another possibility, especially if it is corroded, dirty, damaged, or not making firm contact. Finally, the oven control board itself may be faulty. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts, and use your Brown range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement meat probe, control board, door switch, receptacle, or oven control board for your appliance.
01 - Brown 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.

Highly Likely
02 - Brown 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 - Brown 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 - Brown 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 - Brown 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
