Possible Causes
Failed cavity cooling fan, Blocked ventilation, Faulty high‑limit thermostat, Door not sealing properly causing heat build‑up around control panel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely before inspection.
- Check door seal: Inspect the rubber gasket around the door for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
- Ventilation: Ensure that the oven has the clearances specified in the Hoover installation guide and that vents are not blocked.
- Fan operation: When the oven is on, the cooling fan should run. If it does not, the fan motor or its supply is faulty.
- High‑limit thermostat: Some models have a manual reset thermostat accessible from the rear or under the hob. A technician can test and reset/replace it.
- Do not bypass safety devices: If F2 recurs, have a Hoover technician test and replace the cooling fan or overheat thermostat as needed.
