Code Meaning Severity Common Symptom

F01 Runaway oven temperature High The interior temperature climbs well beyond the temperature you set and does not plateau. View F02 Oven overtemperature High Regardless of the temperature selected, the oven temperature climbs above the intended level. View F03 Temperature sensor open circuit High The control board refuses to begin heating because it has no temperature reference. View F04 Temperature sensor shorted High The board interprets the shorted sensor as a very cold oven and runs the element continuously, causing overheating. View F05 Control board failure High All bake, broil, and convection functions are disabled as the board has detected an unrecoverable internal error. View F06 Door unlock failure (self-clean) Medium The door cannot be opened after the self-clean cycle completes and the oven has cooled. View F07 Door lock failure (self-clean) Medium Attempting to start self-clean results in F07 and the cycle is aborted. View F09 Door latch position error Medium The door latch bolt is neither fully extended (locked) nor fully retracted (unlocked), making the door state uncertain. View
