Failure Code # Description of Fault Code Solution for Fault Code
4 Digit Failure Codes (for 2 digit codes see below)
F1 – E0 EEPROM communication error 1. Disconnect power for at least 30 seconds.
2. Re-apply power and observe for at least one minute.
3. If code re-appears, replace control board (also called ERC or clock). Note: Applies to all F1-E… codes except F1-E3.
F1 – E1 EEPROM checksum error
F1 – E2 UL A/D error(s)
F1 – E4 Model ID error
F1 – E5 Calibration shifted
F1 – E6 Latch signal mismatch error
F1 – E9 Stack overflow
F1 – E3 Wiring harness cavity size does not match previously stored value The “Cavity Size Select” jumpers in the wiring harness indicate a cavity size different from that which the control was previously configured for. Check the jumpers in the harness to make sure they agree with the actual oven size.
F2 – E0 Shorted keypad (also called touch pad) 1. Check keypad connector for firm connection (keypad connects to control board).
2. Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 seconds, replace keypad (also called touch pad or membrane switch). Some models incorporate keypad in to control board as one unit. In this case, replace control board (also called ERC or clock).
F2 – E1 Keypad cable unplugged
F2 – E5 Cancel key drive line open
F2 – E6 Cancel key drive line open
F3 – E0 Oven temperature sensor (RTD) opened (upper oven, if double oven) Replace Oven temperature sensor (RTD)

F5 – E0 Door switches do not agree (condition exists when door switch is closed indicating an open door, and latch switch is closed indicating a locked door) 1. If door latched:
A. Disconnect power from unit.B. Check wires and connectors from control to door switch, then from door switch to control. If no damage to wires and all connectors okay, proceed to step C.C. Replace door switch.D. Re-apply power.E. Press and hold any key down for 1 minute to clear F5 failure code from memory. F2 will appear. Press CANCEL and observe for 1 minute to ensure operation is correct.
2. If door not latched:A. Disconnect power from unit.B. Check wires and connectors from control to latch switch, then from latch switch to control. If no damage to wires and all connectors okay, proceed to step C.C. Repeat steps A and B for door switch.
3. Measure door switch (door open = switch open small low voltage terminals). Replace switch if defective.
4. Measure latch switch (unlatch = switch open, CAUTION – oven light contacts are closed). Replace switch if defective.
