Low Medium High
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. View
