F98 displayed; oven may not start or may shut off unexpectedly

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed relay board (if separate from EOC), Loose harness between EOC and power board, Power surge damage, Internal communication error

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing panels.

Inspect wiring between boards:
- Remove rear panel to access the EOC and any separate relay/power board.
- Check harness connectors for secure fit and signs of overheating.
- Reseat all connectors.
Check boards for damage:
- Look for burnt spots, cracked solder joints, or bulging components.
- If damage is visible on the relay/power board, replace the relay/power board.
Replace EOC if needed:
- If the relay board is good but F98 persists, replace the electronic oven control board.
