I have a GE oven that is about 24 years old. It came with the house when I bought it about 10 years ago. The unit is in good shape by appearance. I'm getting an F4 error code when I turn the broil or bake controls on. I replaced the oven temp sensor, but the code is still occurring. Are there other reasons this code can occur?
I got the sensor online and it did fit. The seller said it is the right one for my unit. So I'm hoping its the right sensor.
Thanks,
craigt

I found this online.
F3 - F4
Open oven temperature sensor (circuit) (over 2700 ohms) or, shorted oven temperature sensor. Could be a result of:
· contamination on terminals
· pinched wire in oven temperature sensor circuit
· cold solder joint on control. · Disconnect power to range and remove oven temperature sensor connector from control.
· Measure oven temperature sensor resistance at oven temperature sensor connector (take care not to damage terminals in block) - Should read 1100 ohms at room temperature (approx 72 degrees F).
· Measure each oven temperature sensor lead from connector block to ground. If shorted, look for pinched or cut wire in oven temperature sensor circuit.
· Check connector terminals - Look for deformed or corrosion on terminals. Repair or replace.
If all above is ok replace control.
