Electrolux EI30EF45QS 30 in 5.1 cu ft Built-In Electric Wall Oven with True European Convection F31 Error Fix: Shorted Oven Temperature Sensor (RTD)

The oven temperature sensor (RTD) has a shorted circuit. The sensor resistance is reading too low (near zero ohms), indicating a short in the sensor element or its wiring harness. Check the sensor harness for damaged insulation causing a short to ground or short between the two sensor wires. Measure the sensor resistance — at room temperature (75°F), it should read approximately 1080-1100 ohms. If the reading is very low or zero, replace the RTD sensor. Also inspect the wiring for any spots where insulation has melted from contact with the oven cavity.
