Is it safe to keep using it?
Depends on code severity. Low/Medium codes often allow continued use, High severity requires immediate stop.
Can error codes be reset?
Some codes clear after power cycle. Persistent codes indicate underlying issues needing repair.

Meaning
Severity
Common Symptom
F1 E0
EEPROM Checksum Failure
High
Pressing Bake or Broil produces no response — the heating elements and igniters stay off because the control has locked itself out.
View
F1 E1
Keypad Calibration Data Lost
High
Pressing the Bake pad activates Broil, or certain numeric keys produce no action, indicating the control cannot match input to stored calibration values.
View
F2 E0
Shorted Key Detected
Medium
The oven switches into Bake, Broil, or a timed cook mode spontaneously, indicating a key is electrically shorted and sending a constant signal to the control.
View
F2 E1
Open Keypad Circuit
High
Pressing Bake, Broil, or any numeric key results in complete silence — no beep, no display change, and no function activation, because the control board sees an open circuit where the keypad signal should be.
View
F3 E0
Oven Sensor Open Circuit
High
The cavity never warms to the target temperature — elements energize briefly then cut out, and the display shows F3 E0 within the first few minutes of preheat.
View
F3 E1
Oven Sensor Short Circuit
High
Heating elements energize for only a few seconds — or not at all — before the control cuts power and displays F3 E1, because the shorted sensor is reporting an extreme temperature.
View
F5 E1
Door Latch Switch Fault
Medium
The oven door remains unlocked or only partially locked, and the self-clean program cancels itself because the control cannot confirm the door is secure before reaching pyrolytic temperatures.
View
F6 E0
Communication Error
High
The display suddenly blanks or stops updating temperature and time while the oven may still be heating, leaving the user with no way to monitor or cancel the cook cycle from the panel.
View
F7 E1
Relay Stuck — Bake Element
High
Pressing Cancel or opening the door does not stop heating — the bake element stays orange and the cavity temperature keeps climbing because the relay cannot be opened by the control board.
View
F7 E5
Relay Stuck — Left Rear Burner
High
Rotating the left rear knob to Off or pressing the surface element Off key does not stop the element from glowing — it continues to radiate heat because the relay cannot open.
View
F7 E6
Relay Stuck — Right Rear Burner
High
Turning the right rear control knob to Off or pressing the element Off key does not stop the element from glowing — it stays energized because the control relay cannot open.
View
F9 E0
Oven Runaway Temperature
High
During preheat or baking, the actual temperature reading on the display rises well above the target setpoint — sometimes reaching 600°F or higher — before the control board intervenes and cuts all power to the heating elements.
View
PF
Power Failure Detected
Low
The oven clock loses its time setting whenever power is fully interrupted, producing the characteristic flashing display that indicates the range has rebooted from a power failure.
