I’ve had two incidents where this stove model # 790.30479400 started beeping and wouldn’t stop! We had the sensor replaced about 3 months ago to stop it the first time. Then today it began beeping again (still is) with a f10 code. The f10 code went away but the stove is still beeping. Very annoying when you are home trying to relax. Don’t know what to do. Have to wait until tomorrow for a repair person to come and take another look at it. So, it’s gonna be a long night! Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep!
