Oven temperature sensor shorted

Unplug the JennAir range and read the RTD probe at the control connector — a short reads near zero ohms instead of about one thousand eighty
Move the meter to the probe plug at the cavity; a correct reading there isolates the short to the harness run
Follow the sensor lead for melted insulation or bare copper touching the cavity sheet metal
Inspect the connector for cooking moisture or debris forming a conductive path between the pins
Pro Diagnostic Tip
A shorted probe makes the JennAir control read false-high and cut heat early, so meals come out undercooked while the display shows a temperature far above the true cavity reading — on a double oven, an F3E2 with no cavity tag defaults to the lower oven sensor.
