Oven temperature sensor out of range

Measure the NTC resistance at a known temperature and compare it to the European-spec curve
A reading that sits off the curve confirms a drifted sensor even though the circuit is not open
Check that the sensor is clipped firmly against the cavity wall and not hanging loose
Inspect the connector for corrosion that adds resistance and skews the reading
Fit a genuine European-spec NTC sensor and re-check the oven temperature
Pro Diagnostic Tip
E4 is a sensor reading OUT OF RANGE rather than open — the oven still runs but holds the wrong temperature. Compare the NTC resistance to the European-spec curve at a known temperature; an off-curve value confirms a drifted sensor. Baking that browns wrong is the classic tell.
