Thermador Range Error Code F60

F60 indicates that the lower oven temperature sensor circuit has been detected as shorted. The control system monitors the sensor's resistance to track oven temperature, and a reading that falls well below the expected value of approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature triggers this fault. The lower oven is disabled as a safety measure until the issue is resolved.

You should not attempt to use the lower oven while F60 is active. The fault indicates the oven temperature sensor is not functioning correctly, which means the range cannot accurately regulate or monitor lower oven temperature. Continuing to use the oven in this state could pose a safety risk.

Repair costs vary depending on which component is at fault. A replacement lower oven temperature sensor typically costs in the range of $20 to $80 for the part. If the power/relay board requires replacement, parts alone can range from $150 to $400 or more. Adding professional labor will increase the total cost of either repair.

A knowledgeable DIYer can perform parts of this diagnosis, such as inspecting connector P2 for looseness or corrosion and testing the sensor resistance with a multimeter. If the sensor reads below approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature, replacing the sensor is a feasible repair. However, if the board itself needs replacement, that repair is more involved and may be better handled by a qualified technician.

Disconnecting power to the range for a few minutes may temporarily clear the F60 code, but it will return if the underlying fault is not repaired. The short circuit condition in the sensor circuit will be detected again as soon as the oven attempts to operate. A reset alone is not a fix and should not be relied on as a solution.
