What this code means
The oven detects a short circuit in the meat probe or the probe connector jack.
Most likely causes
- A damaged or wet meat probe
- Food residue or moisture inside the probe jack
- A shorted probe-jack harness
- A failed user-interface or appliance-manager input circuit
Safe checks for the owner
- Remove the meat probe and allow the connector area to cool and dry.
- Inspect the probe cord and plug for obvious cuts, crushing or burned areas.
- Retry without the probe. Do not insert tools or cleaner into the connector jack.
