Inglis Oven meat thermometer not working

If your Inglis oven probe is not working, the meat thermometer may show an error, fail to display a temperature, or remain unresponsive when connected. The most likely cause is a defective meat probe. The probe's resistance should change as its temperature changes, and an open circuit measured with a multimeter indicates the probe needs replacement. If the probe tests good, inspect the probe jack, also called the receptacle, for corrosion, damage, or debris that could prevent a solid electrical connection. Next, check the control board. When the probe is plugged in, the control board reads its signal, so a board that does not respond with a good probe and receptacle may be faulty. A defective door switch is less common, but some Inglis ovens require the door to be closed before the oven probe or meat thermometer will operate. Test the switch for continuity when actuated. An oven control board can also cause probe problems. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement meat probe, receptacle, door switch, or control board for your Inglis range, stove, or oven.

01 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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
