KitchenAid Range Code 3d31: Meat probe receptacle check

What 3d31 means

The code 3d31, from the lower-case family on KitchenAid ranges, directs you to verify that the meat probe is securely inserted in the meat probe receptacle, whose location may vary by range. After that comes a power reset, followed by watching the oven for one minute to be sure the code does not display again. If the oven then operates normally, the case is closed.

Common causes of 3d31

Meat probe plug not seated in the receptacle
Probe cable or receptacle not passing the signal
Code needing a power reset after reseating

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Let the oven cool. 2. Push the meat probe plug firmly into its receptacle. 3. Switch the breaker off for a minute and back on. 4. Watch the oven for one minute to confirm the code stays away. 5. If 3d31 returns, remove the probe, stop using it and call us.

! Why to stop there

A code that returns with the probe seated points past the plug itself.
Receptacle and wiring work happens inside the oven wall.
Expect a written price up front and a 30-day warranty on our labor.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

3d313d31 questions

Where is the probe receptacle?

Its location may vary by range. Look for the small jack inside the oven cavity where the meat probe plugs in, and push the plug firmly home once the oven has cooled.

Do I need to use the probe?

If you are not cooking with it, remove the probe and reset power. The code should clear, and you can bake normally with the regular temperature settings.

What does the one-minute watch do?

After the power reset, you monitor the oven for one minute to see that the code does not display again. If it does, the reseating did not solve it and you should call us.
