Low Medium High

Code Meaning Severity Common Symptom

F0E2 Stuck keypad key at startup Medium The error code appears on the display within the first few seconds of restoring power, before any cooking function is selected, because the fault is caught during the startup self-test. View F1E0 Control board EEPROM error High The oven cavity remains at room temperature regardless of which cooking mode is selected because the control board cannot initialize properly. View F1E1 Control board memory fault High Cooking cycles terminate abruptly as the board detects the memory error and initiates a protective shutdown to avoid uncontrolled heating. View F2E0 Keypad shorted or stuck key Medium The appliance emits a constant or rapid series of beeps as though a key is being held down, even when no one is touching the control panel. View F3E0 Bake temp sensor open circuit High The bake or roast element does not energize because the control board has no temperature feedback and will not allow heating to begin. View F3E2 Meat probe short circuit Medium Attempting to use the probe-cook function causes the oven to immediately display F3E2 and refuse to begin heating. View F5E0 Door latch won't lock Medium After selecting the clean cycle and pressing Start, the oven displays F5E0 and the cycle never initiates because the door has not confirmed as locked. View F5E1 Door latch won't unlock High The oven has returned to room temperature but the door will not open and the LOCK indicator remains illuminated on the display panel. View F9E0 Door open or switch fault Medium The control board will not energize the heating elements because the door switch circuit is open, making the board believe the door is ajar. View
