Quick answer
Electrolux range/oven code F31 indicates oven temperature probe circuit is shorted.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and control generations, so F31 may mean something different on another appliance or platform. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
When F31 appears on your Electrolux range/oven, it indicates oven temperature probe circuit is shorted. Model and control-platform context matters before any part is condemned. Use the observed symptoms and the full model number to confirm the correct diagnostic path.
Read this display narrowly on the documented control platform: oven temperature probe circuit is shorted. The visible behavior matters: oven temperature may be inaccurate can occur with oven temperature probe issue, but probe wiring problem remains another documented possibility.
Electrolux uses several oven-control generations. This page preserves the documented platform context and groups only display variants that share the same diagnostic path.

Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Turn the oven off and allow it to cool.
Try one restart after power has been off for several minutes.
Do not remove the rear panel or test probe wiring while energized.
Use a separate oven thermometer only for observing temperature, not for bypassing the code.
Important safety warning. Stop if the oven overheats or the code returns.

When to call a technician
Probe resistance and harness testing for F31 should be done with the range made electrically safe.
A returning F31 should be diagnosed with the model-specific service path. Tell the technician whether oven temperature may be inaccurate; that observation can help prioritize oven temperature probe issue.

It indicates oven temperature probe circuit is shorted. Confirm the full model number because Electrolux diagnostic meanings can vary between control platforms.
You can try the safe external checks on this page and one power reset when appropriate. If the code returns, repeated resets are not a substitute for diagnosis.
Do not continue if temperature control is unreliable or the oven overheats.
