Unplug the probe and look for a bent tip, crushed cable or damaged plug. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can I keep baking without the probe if my Kenmore shows F4/E1? Often yes, because the probe is only needed for probe cooking. If the code shows even with the probe unplugged, the jack or harness needs a look. ### Is a new probe enough to fix Kenmore F4/E1? Only if the old probe is the shorted part. The jack in the oven wall and its wiring can produce the same code. --- **[Read on the site: Kenmore wall oven showing F4/E1 | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-f4-e1/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
