Possible Causes

Failed oven temperature sensor reading low, Stuck-closed bake or broil relay on control board, Poor airflow around oven cavity, Using foil blocking vents

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the oven and disconnect power immediately if you suspect overheating. Do not open the door if there is visible smoke; allow it to cool.

  • Allow cooling: Let the oven cool completely before further use.
  • Check vents: Ensure no foil or liners are blocking oven vents or covering the entire rack surface.
  • Test at lower temperature: After cooling, set the oven to a moderate temperature (e.g., 180°C / 350°F) and monitor. If F2 reappears quickly, suspect sensor or control issues.

Diagnosis typically requires checking the oven sensor resistance and verifying that the control board relays are not welded closed. This is best handled by a technician; the likely parts are the oven temperature sensor or the electronic oven control board.
