[RedTurbo]

While baking a cake in the oven last night, my oven threw a code (E2 - F3). I looked the code up and it said "Oven temperature too high (Cook Mode)" and that the fix was to replace the oven temperature sensor. So I did and the code is still there. What I didn't notice was that the broiler element glows red hot all the time even when the oven is off. I killed the breaker and left it off over night and when I turned it back on, it went back to glowing red hot. Do I have a bad element or is there something else wrong? Please advise?

Here is the tech sheet

As far as I know can only be two things:
1. The wire fro the broil element to the control board has shorted to the case/frame so it gets power all the time re: 120 volts. But it should not get bright red as this requires the full 240 volts.

2. The broil relay contacts are welded together. You will need a new control board to fix this.

code (E2 - F3) "Oven temperature too high (Cook Mode)". it said the fix was to replace the oven temperature sensor.

Not quite. The tech sheet says to check the resistance of the oven sensor. If that resistance is out, then replace the sensor.

I agree. If the broil element is glowing red hot, it would cause the oven temperature to be too high (hence the error message) in which case the control is likely not shutting it off like it is suppose to.

It is also the only thing that should allow the broil element to be on at full power even when not in use.
