Hotpoint RBS360DMWW 5.0 cu ft 30 in Free-Standing Electric Range with Self-Clean Oven F4 Error Fix: Shorted Oven Temperature Sensor (RTD Probe)

The oven temperature sensor (RTD) circuit is shorted — the sensor wiring insulation has been damaged causing a short circuit to ground or between conductors, or the sensor itself has failed with an internally shorted resistance element; test the sensor with a multimeter — resistance should be approximately 1,080 ohms at room temperature; if the reading is near zero ohms or significantly below normal, the sensor or its wiring is shorted; inspect the sensor wires inside the oven cavity for bare wire touching the metal oven liner, particularly where the wires pass through the rear wall or near rack supports; replace the sensor and carefully route the new wiring away from metal contact points
