RCA oven shows F2 during or after a bake or broil cycle; oven may overheat or shut down.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before working on it.

• Check for obvious overheating: Verify that the oven door closes properly and the gasket is intact. A leaking door can cause temperature swings.
• Test oven temperature sensor: Locate the temperature sensor probe inside the oven (usually on the back wall). With power OFF, remove the rear panel and disconnect the sensor harness. Measure resistance with a multimeter: at room temperature (~70°F/21°C) it should be around 1050–1100 Ω. If reading is far off or shorted, replace the sensor.
• Inspect control board relays: With the rear panel removed, visually inspect the EOC for burnt or welded relay contacts. If the bake or broil relay appears damaged, the board must be replaced.
• Verify installation clearance: Ensure the oven has proper clearance in the cabinet per RCA installation instructions so heat can dissipate.
• Replace faulty part: Replace the oven temperature sensor (RTD) if readings are incorrect. If sensor is good and F2 persists, replace the electronic oven control board.
