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.
When should I stop using it?
Stop immediately for water leak codes, burning smell, or any High severity error.

Common Symptom
E0
Board Communication Error
Medium
Parts of the digital display are blank, show incorrect data, or the display works intermittently.
View
E0
Control Board Comm Error
Medium
The digital display shows incomplete information, is partially lit, or goes completely blank despite the range having power.
View
E1
Gas Valve Relay Failure
High
The oven igniter glows but gas never flows to the burner because the relay won't energize the gas valve.
View
E1
Control Board Self-Test Fail
High
The range shows no response to any control inputs after being powered on — no heating, no display activity, and no acknowledgment of button presses.
View
E1
Gas Pressure Fault
High
All gas burners produce unusually small, weak flames that cannot reach full heat output even at maximum settings.
View
E2
Convection Fan Motor Fault
Low
Food cooks unevenly with hot spots and cold spots, or one side of dishes browns significantly more than the other.
View
E2
Heating Element Circuit Fault
High
The control panel shows the oven as active and counting up toward the set temperature, but no heat is produced and the cavity remains at ambient temperature.
View
E3
Cooling Fan Failure
Medium
The area around the control knobs and digital display feels abnormally hot during or after oven use.
View
E4
Flame Supervision Failure
High
The oven burner ignites and produces a flame, but it extinguishes after 10-30 seconds as the flame sensor fails to confirm stable combustion.
View
E5
Gas Leak Detection Alert
High
A distinctive rotten-egg gas smell is noticeable near the range even when all burners and the oven are turned off.
View
E6
Bake Element Open Circuit
Medium
Food placed in the oven cooks unevenly or not at all — the top of the oven may warm from convection or the broil element, but the bake element produces no heat.
View
E7
Broil Element Open Circuit
Medium
Foods placed under the broiler receive no direct heat from above — browning and searing do not occur even after extended time under what should be an energized broil element.
View
F1
Oven Temp Sensor Open
Medium
The oven cavity remains cold after setting a temperature and pressing start, with no warmth detected even after 10+ minutes.
View
F1
Oven Temp Sensor Open
Medium
The oven cavity remains cold after a temperature is set and start is pressed — no warmth is detected even after 10 or more minutes of operation.
View
F1
Oven Igniter Failure
High
The oven remains cold despite selecting a temperature and starting the cooking cycle, with no visible flame in the oven cavity.
View
F2
Oven Temp Sensor Short
Medium
The oven begins its preheat cycle but shuts down within seconds, displaying the F2 code.
View
F2
Oven Temp Sensor Fault
Medium
Food burns on one cycle and comes out undercooked on the next, even at the same temperature setting.
View
F3
Oven Overtemperature
High
The outside surfaces of the range, including handles and surrounding cabinetry, feel unusually hot.
View
F3
Oven Overtemperature
High
The oven heats well past the programmed temperature before the error triggers, often scorching food or setting off smoke alarms.
View
F3
Oven Overtemperature
High
The outer surfaces of the range become dangerously hot, potentially causing burns on contact and heating nearby surfaces.
View
F4
Sensor Out of Range
Medium
Recipes that previously cooked correctly now produce inconsistent results despite using the same temperature settings.
View
F4
Oven Temp Sensor Short
Medium
The oven begins its preheat sequence but stops within seconds as the control board reads an implausibly high temperature and triggers the fault.
View
F5
Control Board Failure
High
Pressing any buttons or turning knobs produces no response — the range appears dead despite having power.
View
F5
Control Board Comm Error
High
Buttons and touch inputs on the control panel do not register, or the range does not respond to any commands entered by the user.
View
F5
Gas Safety Valve Failure
High
The igniter reaches full temperature (bright orange glow) but the oven burner never lights because gas cannot pass through the valve.
View
F6
Thermostat Malfunction
Medium
Food burns at low temperature settings or remains raw at high settings, indicating the thermostat is not regulating properly.
View
F7
Door Lock Fault
Medium
When starting a self-clean cycle, the oven fails to engage the door lock and displays the F7 error instead of proceeding.
View
F7
Door Lock Motor Failure
Medium
When a self-cleaning cycle is initiated, the door lock motor activates but the door remains unlocked, preventing the cycle from starting.
View
F8
Oven Igniter Failure
High
You may notice a brief gas odor when the oven attempts to light, followed by the F8 error as the safety valve closes.
View
F8
Burner Ignition Failure
Medium
The spark igniter clicks continuously but the burner does not light, despite gas being available.
View
F9
Door Latch Circuit Fault
Medium
The oven behaves as if the door is open when it is clearly shut, refusing to start or maintain heating cycles.
