Oven display shows F2 and beeps; oven shuts off or will not heat properly, often during baking or broiling.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before working inside the cavity or behind panels.

• Check for obvious overheating: Remove any foil covering oven vents or racks. Foil can trap heat and cause over‑temperature faults.
• Inspect oven temperature sensor: Locate the thin metal rod (RTD sensor) protruding from the rear wall inside the oven. Remove its mounting screws and gently pull it forward to access the connector.
• Test sensor resistance: With the sensor disconnected and the oven at room temperature, measure resistance across the sensor leads using a multimeter. A typical Avanti sensor should read around 1050–1100 Ω at 70°F (21°C). If it is open, shorted, or far out of range, replace the sensor.
• Inspect wiring: Check the sensor harness for burnt, pinched, or broken wires between the sensor and the EOC. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
• Control board check: If the sensor and wiring test good, the bake or broil relay on the EOC may be stuck closed, causing runaway heat. In this case, replace the electronic oven control (EOC).
