When your Litton oven meat thermometer is not working, the meat probe is the most likely cause. The probe's resistance changes as its temperature changes, and an open circuit when tested with a multimeter means the probe has failed and needs replacement. A faulty control board is the next likely cause, especially if the oven probe and probe jack test good but the display does not respond or shows a probe error. A defective door switch can also prevent the oven thermometer from working because some Litton ovens require the door to be closed before the control can read the probe. Test the switch for continuity when actuated and replace it if it fails. Less common causes include a corroded or damaged receptacle, also called the probe jack, or a failed oven control board. Check that the receptacle is clean and making firm contact with the probe. Whether you searched for an oven probe not working, meat thermometer not working, oven thermometer problem, or temp probe not working, enter your Litton model number to find the exact replacement part for your range, stove, or oven.
01 - Litton 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.
