What the Prob ERR error code actually means

Your Frigidaire range is showing this error because it cannot detect the meat temperature probe, or the probe it is detecting appears to be damaged. This usually happens because the probe plug is not pushed all the way into the socket on the oven wall. If reseating the plug does not fix it, the probe itself may be broken and will need to be replaced.

Questions people ask about Prob ERR

What does Prob ERR mean on a Frigidaire range?
Prob ERR means the oven control cannot detect a valid signal from the meat temperature probe. This can occur because the probe connector is not fully inserted into the jack, the probe cable is damaged, or the probe has an internal short circuit. The control board triggers this code any time the probe circuit falls outside the expected parameters.
Will resetting the range clear the Prob ERR code?
Resetting the range by cutting power at the breaker may temporarily clear the display, but the error will return as soon as the oven attempts to use the probe again if the underlying problem is not resolved. The code will only stay cleared once the probe is properly connected or replaced.
How much does it cost to fix a Frigidaire range Prob ERR error?
If the fix is simply reseating the probe connector, there is no parts cost involved. If the probe itself is defective and needs replacement, the cost of a replacement meat probe typically falls in the range of $20 to $60 depending on the model. If a technician is needed to diagnose or replace the component, labor costs will add to that total.
How do I fix a Prob ERR on my Frigidaire range?
Start by removing the probe connector from the jack and reinserting it firmly until it is fully seated. If the error clears, the probe was loose. If the error remains, inspect the probe cable for visible damage such as kinks, burns, or exposed wires. A damaged or short-circuited probe will need to be replaced with the correct probe for your model.
Is it safe to use my Frigidaire range while Prob ERR is showing?
The Prob ERR code is specifically related to the meat probe circuit and does not indicate a problem with the oven's baking or broiling functions. You can typically continue to use the oven for standard cooking as long as you do not need probe-based temperature monitoring. Simply remove the probe from the jack if you are not using it, which should clear the error during normal oven operation.
