How to Fix a Kenmore Stove F30 Error

If you see "F30" flash on the display of the control panel for your Kenmore stove, you have an error code that indicates there is an open circuit in the wiring of your oven's sensor probe. To fix the F30 error, you must replace the sensor probe. Order a new sensor probe from your oven's manufacturer or an online retailer. Once the probe is replaced the error code will stop flashing on the display.
