Camco Range Error Code prob

The PROB code on a Camco range indicates a problem with the meat probe circuit. It flashes when a probe-required cooking function is selected without the probe connected, or when the probe or oven sensor is detected as electrically open or shorted. Checking whether the probe is properly inserted is the first step. If the probe is connected and the code persists, the probe or sensor may need testing or replacement.

The PROB code itself is a control alert rather than a safety emergency, but it does prevent probe-dependent cooking modes from operating as intended. If the oven temperature sensor is causing the code, cooking accuracy may be compromised and the oven should not be used for precision cooking until the sensor is inspected. A faulty probe left plugged in during high-temperature cooking could also be a concern if the cable is damaged, so inspect the probe and wiring before continued use.

Repair costs depend on what component has failed. A replacement meat probe typically costs in the range of $20 to $60 for the part. An oven temperature sensor replacement part generally falls in the $25 to $80 range. If professional labor is required for wiring repairs or component replacement, total repair costs including labor can range from $100 to $250 or more depending on the service provider and extent of the repair.

Start by plugging the meat probe securely into the receptacle inside the oven cavity, then press the food temperature pad again to re-enter your cooking settings. If the code continues, test the probe resistance using a multimeter: at room temperature (around 75 degrees Fahrenheit), a good probe should read approximately 50K ohms. A reading of zero or infinity means the probe has failed and needs to be replaced. Also inspect the receptacle and wiring for corrosion or damage.

Resetting the range by disconnecting power may temporarily clear the display, but the code will return as soon as a probe function is selected if the underlying issue has not been resolved. A reset does not repair a failed probe, damaged receptacle, or faulty oven sensor. Addressing the root cause, such as connecting the probe or replacing a defective component, is necessary to permanently clear the code.
