How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker.

  • Power reset: Leave power off for at least 10 minutes to fully discharge the control, then restore.
  • Check supply voltage: Verify 240 VAC (or 208 VAC where applicable) at the terminal block with a multimeter. Low or fluctuating voltage can cause logic errors.
  • Inspect control: Remove rear cover and inspect the control board for burn marks or damaged components.

If F1E5 returns consistently, replace the electronic oven control board.
