GE double oven upper oven overheating.

Torx and Philips head and 1/4 socket and ratchet driver.

1) Turn off power supply to oven. 2) Remove front control panel, unplug 2 wire harness connectors and set aside. 3) Remove oven frame plate found behind control panel and set aside, from there you can access the oven temp control board. 4) Use phone to take images of wiring and where connections are made before removing wire connections. 5) Use 1/4 socket to remove screw at front of the 2 control boards. I replaced left control board, but loosening both allows you to swing the boards out to better remove and reinstall wire connections, as the opening where boards rest have limited hand space to remove and make connections. 6) remove wire connections at board being replaced. 7) Defective board is now free to remove from oven. 8) Control board rests in a black frame, find 3 Phillips screws and remove to release board for new replacement. 9) Install new board in frame and reinstall Phillips screws to secure. 10) Using your previous taken phone images reconnect control board wiring and slide both boards back into their original resting locations. 11) Reinstall control board 1/4 frame screws to secure control boards 12) Reinstall oven frame plate. 13) Reinstall the oven face control panel 2 wire harness connections and reposition onto oven and re-secure with torx screws 14) Turn power supply back on, oven will reboot.. 15) Set oven to desired temp for testing. 15) don’t forget to reset clock :)

Double oven showing code F30 (upper oven temp sensor short)

T25 torx driver, 1/4” nut driver, Phillips driver, bracing at same height as oven if sliding oven out of cabinet, also have phone/camera ready.

F30 code has three possible causes: temp sensor failure (easy to fit and possible cause) Wiring short (hard fix and improbably cause) Board failure (easy fix and unknown probability) I initially treated by replacing temp sensor, twice. I then removed the ovens by sliding them into a small wooden box at the exact same height as the cabinet opening. Take the doors and button/screen panel off as these are very heavy and/or able to be damaged. Also, obligatory turn power off, but if you’re this far the F30 code beeping has probably driven you mad and the power is already off. Once the oven is out take the rear and top panels off to look for wire abrasion and possible shorts - I didn’t find any as expected. Last solution involved the more expensive new board, but is very easy to replace. This can be done through the removed control panel but is much easier done from above with oven out. Took a couple of clear photos of the old board with connectors for reference, then unplugged them and unscrew 2 retaining screws to remove old board. Installed new one and plugged connectors per photo. Note that not all relays are wired identically. Put panels back on and reinstall unit. I was surprised that this was caused by a board failure, but welcome to have it fixed. Side note, the temp sensors should have a resistance of 1080 Ohms at room temp which can help confirm this part is not causing the error code.

Oven would not turn on

Screwdriver

I was quoted $1200 to repair the oven so I purchased the part for $200 and replaced it myself. The oven works perfectly now!
