Understanding Your Oven’s Error Codes

If your GE stove displays the F9 error code, that means that the stove door latch is not working. If the oven is showing F33 error codes in your ovens display, that means the door lock for the self-cleaning program is not turning off.

If you notice any apparent damage on the inside of your oven, it is very likely the self-clean feature is the culprit of error F2. If an F2 error code is generated while the self-cleaning function is running, it is possible that a self-cleaning cycle damaged the ovens interior, or one component, such as the control board. If the temperature sensor in the oven is working correctly, the second most common cause of an F2 error code is a damaged control board.

An oven clock problem can also be the culprit, and in most models, this would require replacing the control board. Sometimes, the KitchenAid oven error code will indicate a temporary problem, which can be fixed by restarting power to the oven. The most handy solution is to reboot the ovens power, which can be done by turning it off and then back on, or looking in the circuit breaker box.

For a temporary fix to the issue, you can reset your GE oven either by turning off power to the oven for three minutes, or resetting the oven via the keypad (check your ovens manual for instructions to reset). Removing the error code by disabling power works if this is an outage, but if the error code returns, that means that there is still a potentially hazardous issue with your oven, which you should find and correct ASAP. If the “In use” indicator is down, but the oven is still powered on, it is likely there is an issue with the control panel.

If the In Use? indicator is lit, it means that your oven is still on, and you just have to wait until it finishes the cycle. Locking Doors If Unlocking Doors is flashing on the display of your range or oven, and a self-cleaning cycle has not been selected, reset the controls.

If F32 appears on your ovens display, this indicates there is an issue with the self-cleaning programs door locking. If you see an oven fault code from Miele, like F01, F02, F03, or F04, that is a sign that a defective part might be present and needs to be replaced. If an FXX error code appears on the display of the cooker, this means a fault has occurred which could be unidentified or requires a professional diagnosis.

If the error code comes as a surprise, maybe you did not use the self-cleaning feature, or you noticed your GE oven seemed uncharacteristically hot, this could just be a malfunction, and restarting your oven would fix the error code.

These error codes may lead to malfunctions with your oven, which can not only ruin your baking, but can lead to safety hazards, too. The latest models from reputable oven manufacturers feature sensors and LCD displays which display a few error codes to the user. Ovens with digital screens have the capability not only of setting the timers and accurate temperature for the oven, but also of showing the error codes if any fault occurs.

From error code information and solutions, the most common problems encountered identifying with Frigidaire ovens are related to the — electronic oven control (EOC), the oven temperature sensor (also known as RTD), electronic surface element control (ESEC) and user interface board (UIB). There are errors signals and malfunctions which can make you think about whether or not to buy a new oven or to take a repair option.

A new oven might work fine for some time, but it eventually needs to be repaired due to one or two malfunctions. If the fault code continues with no electrical outage, an appliance repair professional will conduct a complete examination of your furnace. The fault might not be easy to fix, so for that process, you will need assistance from an appliance repair specialist.

If you ignore these types of errors and continue using your oven as usual, your food will not be cooked correctly, and your oven might turn off mid-cooking. While it can be tempting to ignore this code and keep using your oven normally, doing so could potentially result in more damage. F5 Relay Drive Circuit Failure If you cannot clear this fault code, then replace your ovens controls (also called the Clock or ERC).

F0 A stuck touchpad typically means either the touchpad or the oven control (also called clock or ERC) is defective and needs replacing. Display condition Repaired 2 Digit display F0 or F1 or F5 Transistors failed Replace the ERC (Electronic Range Control) F2 Oven temperature is too hot 1. A* Replace F1-E1 safety switch Replace ERC (Electronic Range Control/Clock) F2 -E0 Keypad shorted Replace F3-E0 F3-E0 Faulty or shorted probe or sensor fuse Replace F3-E1 shorted probe or sensor fuse Replace oven temp probe F3-E2 Oven too hot Replace oven temperature probe F3-E3 Clean temp.

Temperature sensor can become damaged, or the control can develop short circuit issues: check temperature sensor, replace it, if needed. You will need an Ohms meter to check the sensor, most stove sensors should read around 1,100I(c) at 60-80AdegF (15-27AdegC) at room temperature, if the sensor reads exposed or exceedingly high, this means that the sensor is defective and needs replacing, if the readout is exceedingly low instead, the sensor has been shorted (check if wires are touching) and also needs replacing.
