Code
Meaning
Severity
Common Symptom
DOOR
Door sensor mismatch
High
The oven cavity door is physically closed and latched but the control board refuses to energize any heating element.
View
F1E1
Oven control fault
High
Pressing Start has no effect — the control board locks out the bake, broil, and convection elements until the fault is cleared.
View
F1E5
Oven control memory fault
High
Any temperature adjustment set via the user calibration menu reverts to zero after the oven is turned off, confirming the EEPROM cannot retain written data.
View
F2E1
Touchpad stuck key
Medium
The touchpad ignores all input, preventing normal navigation or any cook mode selection.
View
F3E0
Oven temp sensor open circuit
High
The bake or broil element energizes briefly, but without a valid temperature reading the control board cuts power to all heating elements almost immediately.
View
F3E1
Oven temp sensor shorted
High
The heating elements energize for only seconds — or not at all — before the oven shuts off.
View
F3E2
Oven temp sensor out of range
High
A drifted sensor provides a reading that does not accurately reflect cavity temperature, causing the board to overshoot or undershoot the target before triggering the out-of-range fault.
View
F5E0
Door lock did not engage
High
After selecting Self Clean and pressing Start, the oven beeps, displays F5E0, and returns to standby — the door latch mechanism never engages.
View
F5E1
Door lock stuck after clean
High
Self-clean completed and the cavity cooled below the unlock threshold, but the latch hook never retracted — the door handle pulls without releasing.
View
F9E0
Door lock motor error
High
The oven displays F9E0 without producing any mechanical sound from the door latch area — the motor is not receiving or responding to the drive signal at all.
View
F9E1
Door switch feedback error
High
The control board reads an ambiguous or incorrect door state signal and refuses to energize the heating elements until the door switch conflict is resolved.
View
LOC
Control lock active
Low
Pressing any key — including Start, Cancel, or numeric pad — produces no response because the Control Lock feature has disabled all touchpad input.
View
PF
Power failure
Low
Power was restored after an outage or breaker trip that interrupted an active cook cycle.
