Electrolux Range Error Code F31

F31 on an Electrolux range indicates a shorted RTD sensor probe or a wiring problem in the oven temperature sensing circuit. The error appears when the oven is in an active mode or when you try to start a cooking function. The control board detects an abnormal resistance reading from the sensor and shuts down to protect the appliance. This can be caused by a failed sensor, damaged wiring, or in some cases a faulty display board.

No, you should not continue using the oven while F31 is active. The error means the control board cannot reliably read the oven temperature, so it cannot properly regulate the heating elements. Continuing to operate the oven in this state could result in uncontrolled overheating. Leave the oven off until the fault is diagnosed and resolved.

Repair costs vary depending on which component is at fault. An RTD sensor probe typically costs between $20 and $60 for the part alone, while a display board can range from $100 to $250 or more. Adding professional labor, total repair costs generally fall between $150 and $400 depending on your location and the specific parts required.

A reset can clear F31 if the fault was caused by a temporary heat-related resistance shift in the sensor circuit. Let the oven cool completely, then restart the function to see if the error returns. If F31 comes back after cooling and restarting, the underlying problem with the sensor, wiring, or display board will need to be diagnosed and repaired.

Start by letting the oven cool down completely, then restart your chosen cooking function to see if the error clears on its own. If F31 persists, inspect the RTD sensor probe and its wiring harness for visible damage, loose connectors, or corrosion. If the sensor and wiring appear intact, the recommended repair is to replace the display board, as that is the next component in the diagnostic sequence.
