What F60 means

If a legacy Thermador C-series, CM-series or CJ302 oven shows F60, the temperature sensor of the lower oven is reading as a short circuit. Without a trustworthy temperature reading the control will not heat the cavity. The source says the sensor should measure about 1080 ohms. One cause line in the document mentions door wiring but looks like a typo for sensor wiring, so we confirm on site.

Usual causes of F60

  • Short circuit in the lower oven sensor wiring or connections
  • Sensor that no longer measures near 1080 ohms
  • Power/relay board, if the sensor reads correctly
✓ A safe check worth trying

1. Turn the lower oven off and let it cool. 2. Switch it off at OFF or the breaker for 3 minutes, then back on. 3. If F60 returns, note the code and model number. 4. Do not unplug or probe the sensor yourself.

! Why you should stop here
  • Reading the sensor needs a meter and access behind the cavity wall
  • Wiring shorts can hide in spots you cannot see
  • Swapping a board when the sensor is the culprit wastes money
Taking off a panel yourself does not by default void a manufacturer warranty, yet it can lead to accidental damage, and some manufacturers attach their own service terms. Read your warranty paperwork, or ask us, before you decide.

F60F60 questions
What does 1080 ohms mean?

It is the resistance the lower sensor should show at room temperature per the source. A reading far from that tells a technician the sensor or its wiring is the issue.

Does F60 affect the upper oven?

The source describes F60 for the lower oven sensor. We would still check how your model behaves, as double-oven controls share a power/relay board. For an older oven we begin with the model number on the frame.

Is the typo in the cause important?

Not for you. It means the document wording is unclear about wiring location, so we verify the sensor circuit directly rather than relying on that line.
