Is your Glenwood oven meat thermometer not working? The meat probe is the most likely cause. The probe changes resistance as its temperature changes, and an open circuit measured with a multimeter indicates that the probe needs replacement. A damaged or unresponsive control board is the next likely cause, especially when the oven probe and probe jack test good but the display does not respond or shows a probe error. An uncommon but possible cause is a defective door switch. Some Glenwood ovens require the door to be closed so the switch can signal the control board before the oven thermometer operates. Test the switch for continuity while actuated. A dirty, corroded, or damaged receptacle can also prevent the probe from making proper contact, and the oven control board may be at fault if the probe and jack are working correctly. Before ordering an oven probe, door switch, receptacle, or control board, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Glenwood range, stove, or oven.
01 - Glenwood 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
