DOOR
Display shows DOOR or a door icon; oven will not start bake or clean cycle.
Door Not Closed or Door Switch Fault
ERR
Display shows ERR or ERROR and beeps; oven may not accept temperature or mode settings.
General Control or Keypad Input Error
F1
Electronic oven control beeps continuously and displays F1; oven may shut off or not respond to keypad inputs.
Electronic Oven Control (EOC) Keypad or Control Board Failure
F2
Oven overheats; display shows F2 and may beep. Temperature rises well above the set point or broiler glows continuously.
Runaway Oven Temperature / Overheat Condition
F3
Display shows F3 and oven may not heat or may shut down; sometimes appears shortly after starting a bake cycle.
Oven Temperature Sensor Circuit Open
F4
Display shows F4; oven may shut off or fail to reach set temperature; intermittent beeping may occur.
Oven Temperature Sensor Shorted or Out-of-Range Low
F5
Display shows F5 and oven functions are disabled; may occur after a power surge or during self-clean (if equipped).
Control Board Relay or Logic Failure
F7
Display shows F7; keypad may be unresponsive or random buttons appear to be pressed by themselves.
Stuck or Shorted Keypad / Touch Membrane
F8
Display shows F8; oven may not start or may shut down during operation.
Control Board Over-Temperature or Cooling Issue
F9
Display shows F9; oven door may not lock/unlock properly (on models with self-clean lock) or oven will not start a clean cycle.
Door Lock Circuit Failure
LOC
Display shows LOC or a lock icon; oven controls do not respond, but burners (on range models) may still work.
Control Panel Child Lock / Control Lock Activated
PF
Display shows PF or flashes and beeps after a power interruption; oven clock resets.
Power Failure Indication
Symptom
Clock and timer functions do not work, but oven heats normally with manual controls (on some models).
Timer/Clock Module Failure
Symptom
Control panel buttons are unresponsive or require very hard presses to register.
Keypad Wear or Control Panel Failure
Symptom
Convection fan does not run in convection mode; convection bake behaves like standard bake.
Convection Fan Motor or Control Failure
Symptom
Digital display is dim, flickering, or completely blank while oven still heats.
Display or Low-Voltage Power Supply Failure
Symptom
Electric oven will not broil; bake works normally.
Broil Element Circuit Failure
Symptom
Electric oven will not heat on bake; broil may still work.
Bake Element Circuit Failure
Symptom
Gas oven lights but then goes out after a few seconds or cycles on and off too frequently, causing uneven baking.
Unstable Flame or Weak Ignition
Symptom
Gas oven will not ignite; no flame and no heat, but control panel appears to function normally.
Ignition Failure – Hot Surface Igniter or Spark System
Symptom
Oven cools down too quickly when the door is opened; temperature recovery is very slow.
Heat Retention / Insulation Issue
Symptom
Oven display and controls reset whenever a high-heat cycle is used.
Thermal Overload of Control Area
Symptom
Oven door glass is fogging up or moisture is trapped between the inner and outer glass panes.
Door Glass Seal Failure / Moisture Intrusion
Symptom
Oven door will not close fully; heat escapes and oven struggles to maintain temperature.
Door Misalignment or Hinge Failure
Symptom
Oven door will not open after a high-temperature or self-clean cycle (on models with lock).
Door Lock Stuck Closed
Symptom
Oven emits a strong chemical or burning plastic smell during use.
Off-Gassing or Component Overheating
Symptom
Oven heats but bakes unevenly; food is burnt on one side and undercooked on the other.
Uneven Heat Distribution
Symptom
Oven interior light stays on all the time, even when the door is closed and light switch is off.
Stuck Light Relay or Door Switch Fault
Symptom
Oven light does not turn on when the door is opened or when the light button is pressed.
Oven Cavity Light Circuit Failure
Symptom
Oven makes loud banging, rattling, or grinding noises during operation.
Mechanical Noise – Fan, Panels, or Racks
Symptom
Oven produces excessive smoke during normal baking (not self-clean).
Combustion or Residue Smoke
Symptom
Oven shuts off by itself before the set cook time is completed.
Intermittent Power or Control Failure
Symptom
Oven takes an unusually long time to preheat or never reaches the set temperature.
Insufficient Heating Output
Symptom
Oven temperature is consistently too hot or too cold compared to the set temperature.
Temperature Calibration or Sensor Drift
Symptom
Oven trips the circuit breaker when turned on or during heating.
Electrical Short or Overcurrent
Symptom
Strong gas smell when the oven is trying to ignite or during operation.
Gas Leak or Incomplete Ignition
