Oven turns itself off

Hi

F4 Error indicates a loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the oven temp. sensor itself is bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue test the oven temp. sensor, it should read between 1080-1120 ohms, if the rating is more then that and the door appears to be closing fine then it is the control board that is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Here is a list of oven error codes for your model Kenmore oven.

1. F0 indicates a Stuck key pad.
2. F1 and F7 may mean relay is turned on.
3. F2 indicates that the oven is over temperature in one of the following modes within either cooking or cleaning mode of operation. The control is sensing over 615 degrees with the door lock circuit in the unlock mode. Control senses oven temperature above 915 degrees with the door in the locked mode.
4. F3 and F4 indicates an open or shorted oven sensor or sensor circuit.
5. F5 indicates a loss of relay drive circuit.
6. FF indicates a loss of door motor safety switch.
7. FC indicates a door lock circuit problem.

If the display of your control is flashing "F" followed by a number or letter its a range malfunction. Press the clear/off pad. Let the range cool for 1 hour and place the range back into operation.
If the problem repeats, call for service.

Hi, replace the oven temperature sensor if "F2," "F3" or "F4" is displayed. "F2" indicates the oven temperature is too hot and the oven temperature sensor is suspect. "F3" or "F4" indicates the oven temperature sensor or shorted or open.

check the wiring to the oven temp probe make sure there is no shorted or exposed wiring replaced parts as needed

Hi

The F4 code is an indication that the sensor failed. The sensor is a metal probe coming into the oven from the back wall. It is a little smaller than a pencil.

The problem could be in the sensor itself or it could be the wire connection is loose between the sensor and the control board above.

how do I solve a F4 problem in the Decor electric stove?

Slone, F4 is the code for a shorted temperature sensor. This is the temp probe in the oven. There are 2-quarter inch screws holding it on. It should pull out through the insulation until the quick connect comes through. If you want to make sure, the sensor should ohm out at 1143 ohms at 100 degrees. I think you can be pretty sure that this is the problem. The part number I have is 704657. Catriver.

luvin, F4 is a shorted oven sensor. Under 950 ohms. Should read 1060 ohms at room temp. The sensor is located in the upper left hand corner of the rear oven wall. Remove the 2 screws and it will pull out enough to remove the connector. Catriver.
