What 3d31 means

On Whirlpool freestanding and slide-in ranges, such as the WFE515S0ES or WFG515S0ES, 3D31 is tied to the meat probe. The control expects a signal from the probe and is not receiving a good one, so the probe is not securely in its receptacle or the connection is poor. On these ranges the receptacle location can vary. Expect a probe cook that will not start or that stops, with 3D31 on the display.

Common causes of 3d31

  • Probe plug not pushed fully into the receptacle
  • Probe or cord worn
  • Receptacle contacts that are dirty or loose
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Let the oven cool before you touch the probe. 2. Push the probe plug firmly into its receptacle. 3. If it still shows, turn the range's breaker off for one full minute and back on. 4. Watch the display for a minute and then try a plain bake instead.

! Why to stop there
  • A probe that seems seated may still make poor contact.
  • We test the probe and the receptacle separately so we replace the right one.
  • You see a written price first, and the work has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

3d313d31 questions
Can I bake without the probe while 3D31 shows?

Often yes. Use a regular timed bake, because the probe is only needed for probe cooking. If the code interferes with ordinary baking, stop and call us.

Where is the probe receptacle on my range?

The location varies by model, usually inside the oven cavity near a side wall. Your owner's manual shows it. Do not poke at it while the oven is hot.

How do I know if the probe or the receptacle is bad?

We check each one on its own with the oven cold. A simple test tells us which part to replace, so you do not pay for both.
