Oven temperature sensor open circuit

Locate the NTC temperature sensor probe on the rear wall inside the oven cavity
Measure its resistance — an open circuit reads OL or infinite
Check the sensor plug at the control-board end for a loose or backed-out connection
Inspect the wiring run for breaks, especially where it passes the door hinge area
Replace the NTC sensor with a genuine European-spec part if it reads open
Pro Diagnostic Tip
E2 is an OPEN oven sensor circuit — the NTC reads OL or infinite, so the control has no temperature feedback and the oven will not heat. The connector is the most common failure point; reseat the sensor plug before condemning the sensor. European-spec NTCs have a specific resistance curve, so fit a genuine part.
