Gibson Oven meat thermometer not working
When your Gibson oven probe is not working, the meat thermometer may show no reading, display a probe error, or fail to track the food temperature. The most likely cause is a defective meat probe. Its resistance should change as the probe temperature changes; test it with a multimeter, and replace the probe if it shows an open circuit. If the probe tests good, the control board may not be receiving or processing its signal. Next, check the oven door switch, since some Gibson ovens require the door to be closed before the oven thermometer operates. The switch should show electrical continuity when actuated. A dirty, corroded, or damaged probe receptacle can also prevent the probe from making proper contact, so inspect and clean the jack or replace the receptacle if needed. Less commonly, the oven control board is faulty. Always disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Whether you need an oven probe, meat thermometer, receptacle, door switch, or control board, enter your Gibson oven model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance.

Highly Likely
02 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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 - Gibson 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.
