AGA electric oven overheats or shuts down with F2 error; fan may continue running and oven light may turn off.

Safety first: Switch off the oven at the mains and allow it to cool fully. Do not continue using the oven if it is overheating.

• Check for obvious overheating: Open the door and inspect the cavity for signs of burning, warped racks, or discolored enamel. Remove any foil or liners that may be blocking vents.
• Inspect cooling vents: Ensure the ventilation slots around the control panel and oven trim are not blocked by cabinetry, towels, or debris. AGA electric ovens rely on proper airflow to keep electronics cool.
• Test the temperature sensor: Access the sensor at the rear of the cavity. Disconnect it and measure resistance at room temperature. A very low resistance (near 0 Ω) or a reading that does not change when gently warmed indicates a shorted sensor.
• Check wiring for shorts: Follow the sensor harness to the control PCB. Look for insulation rubbed through where the cable passes through metal panels. Repair any damaged insulation and secure the harness away from sharp edges.
• Replace components as needed: Replace the oven temperature sensor if readings are out of range. If the sensor and wiring are good but F2 persists, the control PCB overtemperature circuit may be defective and the board should be replaced.

Warning: Persistent overtemperature faults can be a fire risk. If the oven appears to heat uncontrollably, disconnect power and arrange professional service.
