# JennAir range showing F8

F8 on a JennAir range is the meat probe code.

## What F8 actually means.

F8 on a JennAir range is the meat probe code. The first thing JennAir asks is whether the probe is pushed fully into its socket in the oven wall.

What to do when F8 shows on the range

### Kind of code Temperature sensor

The oven sensor sent a reading the control would not accept, or one that climbed well past the setting. A loose plug or a sensor that has drifted is ruled out before the control board, and a temperature that keeps rising means the range is switched off at the breaker first.

### Usually leads to Temperature sensor and thermostat repair

A range oven that bakes hot, bakes slow, takes forever to preheat or posts a sensor code, traced to the sensor probe, the thermostat or the calibration.

### Shows up as Range Oven Temperature Wrong

Recipes burn or come out underdone, and an oven thermometer disagrees with the temperature set on the range.

### Make JennAir

### Source JennAir product help: F8 error code, range

JennAir ranges that include a meat probe; the socket position varies by model.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for F8 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Push the probe fully into its receptacle, or remove it if you are not using it.

02

If F8 stays, do the one-minute breaker reset; book a visit if it still returns.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [temperature sensor and thermostat repair](https://rangerepair.center/services/temperature-sensor-and-thermostat-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

F8 does not describe the oven's own temperature sensor; it concerns the plug-in probe and its socket.

## What you may notice with it.

The range problems F8 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range before anyone is booked.

### Gas range

Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.

### Electric range

Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.

## Questions about F8.

### Can I clear F8 myself?

Push the probe fully into its receptacle, or remove it if you are not using it. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Can a half-inserted probe cause F8 on my JennAir range?

Yes. JennAir's first step for F8 is to make sure the probe is seated securely in its receptacle, so a loose plug is the usual cause.

### My JennAir shows F8 even with no probe inserted. What does that mean?

Then the socket or its wiring may be the issue rather than the probe. Try the breaker reset and book a visit if F8 remains.
