Oven and stove error codes

F9 (often shown as F9 E0) usually appears after a power outage or on a new installation. It means the control sensed a wiring or voltage problem. The usual causes are electrical noise during an outage, an outlet or junction box wired with the wires reversed, or a failed control board.

F3 codes (such as F3 E0 or F3 E1) point to the oven temperature sensor. The usual causes are a failed sensor, a loose sensor connection at the back of the oven, or the control board.

SAb isn't a fault: Sabbath mode is on, so most buttons don't respond. To turn it off, press and hold the button your model's manual lists for Sabbath mode for about 5 seconds.

LOC means the control lock is on. Press and hold the Control Lock button (often Cancel or Start, marked with a lock symbol) for about 3 seconds to unlock. If the door stays locked after self-clean, the usual cause is the door lock motor or switch.

PF means the power was interrupted. Reset the clock to clear it. If it keeps coming back without a power cut, the usual causes are a loose connection at the terminal block, a failing breaker, or the control board.

F2 means the oven got hotter than it should. The usual causes are a failed oven temperature sensor, a relay on the control board stuck on, or the control board itself.

F3 (or F4) means the oven temperature sensor reads open or shorted. The usual causes are the sensor itself, its wiring, or the connection at the back of the oven.

F7 (also F1 or F0 on some models) points to the keypad (touchpad): a button reads as stuck. The usual causes are a failed keypad, moisture behind it, or the ribbon cable to the control board.

On GE ovens, F9 points to the door lock circuit. The usual causes are a failed door lock motor, its switch, or the wiring to the control board.

LOC or LOC DOOR flashing usually means the Control Lockout is on. Press and hold Lock Controls for about 3 seconds. If it flashes without being set, the usual causes are a door that isn't closing freely, the door lock switch, or the control board.

F10 means the oven got too hot (runaway temperature). The usual causes are a failed oven temperature sensor, a relay on the control board stuck on, or the control board itself.

F11 means a button on the keypad reads as stuck (shorted key). The usual causes are a failed keypad, moisture or grease behind it, or the ribbon cable to the control board.

F30 means the oven temperature sensor circuit is open; F31 means it's shorted. The usual causes are the sensor itself, its connector at the back of the oven, or the wiring.

F90 to F94 are door lock errors, usually after self-clean. The usual causes are a failed door lock motor, its lock switch, or the wiring.

C-20 means the oven temperature sensor is open or shorted. C-21 means the inside got abnormally hot. The usual causes are a failed sensor, a stuck relay on the control board, or a failed cooling fan.

C-d1 means the door lock isn't in the right position. The usual causes are a failed door lock motor or switch, something blocking the latch, or the wiring.

C-d0 means a button reads as pressed for too long, often from moisture or grease on the panel. If wiping it dry doesn't clear it, the usual causes are a failed touch panel or its control board.
