Search for your model number for a complete list of parts for your wall oven.

Push the Clear/OFF pad. Shut off power to the oven, disconnect the flat ribbon connector from the electronic oven control board and then restore electrical power. If the code reappears after about 30 seconds, replace the electronic oven control board. If the code doesn't reappear, replace the key panel.


If the oven actually overheated, the electronic oven control board likely has a stuck relay; replace the electronic control board. If the oven is at room temperature, the oven temperature sensor could be defective. Disconnect power to the oven and measure the oven temperature sensor resistance using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn't 1100 ohms at 72 degrees F, replace the oven temperature sensor. If the resistance is correct, replace the electronic control board.


Disconnect the electrical power supply to the oven. Measure the oven temperature sensor resistance using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn't 1080 ohms at 70 F, replace the oven temperature sensor. Replace the oven temperature sensor wire harness if damaged. If the oven temperature sensor and wire harness are okay, replace the electronic oven control board.


Disconnect the electrical power supply to the oven. Reconnect any loose wires in the oven door lock circuit. Replace the oven door lock wire harness if damaged. If the wire harness is okay, replace the oven door lock assembly. If the problem recurs, replace the electronic oven control board.

GE error codes numbers are easy to understand and point to basic malfunctions. Please also keep in mind that in GE appliances the error codes do vary from model to model. So when you are checking for the information online, double check that your model number is correct.


As you can see from the above error codes, most of the problems are linked to the control panel and can be fixed by the panel replacement. Also you may try to replace it by yourself, you have to be careful about doing it. It is the main unit that controls operation of entire stove. If you fail to install it and secure connections properly, the entire unit will not work.


You have to make sure that you have identified the problem correctly and order the correct replacement part that is right for your unit. We often get the telephone calls for clients who have attempted a DIY repair, that simply result in more repairs after.


First of all, it is important to make sure that you have diagnosed the problem correctly, as it might not be the unit itself, but faulty wiring connection. Non calibrated stove, can also give you the impression that something is wrong with the sensor.


It is also important to keep the ovens clean inside. Luckily, there is the self-clean feature! The grease, spills and stuck food in the oven not only affect the heat distribution, but also might become a cause of fire.


If your GE oven has an F2 (or F20) error code, the oven is detecting that the temperature inside the oven has exceeded a preset threshold. In plain English, it means the temperature has exceeded 615 degrees, or 915 degrees Fahrenheit during a self-cleaning cycle. When this happens, the oven will shut down until the issue is resolved.


The oven can be reset by disconnecting the power to the oven for a few minutes. When you reconnect the power to the oven, the error code should be resolved. Clearing the error code by disconnecting the power works if it is a glitch, but if the error code returns, it means there is still a potentially dangerous problem with the oven that you should locate and fix as soon as possible.


Over time, oven vents or screens, particularly with self-cleaning ovens, can become clogged with grease. If there is a blockage, it can cause the oven to overheat and trigger the F2 error code. Oven fans can also be affected and should be checked for a blockage or a fault. Cleaning the oven with some vinegar or baking soda and checking and clearing the ventilation and fan may resolve the error code.


The temperature sensor can be tested with a multimeter to measure its resistance. However, first you will need to remove the sensor from the oven. Most GE models will require accessing the sensor from the back and from inside the oven. Other models may allow sensor removal from inside the oven, without the need to remove a rear access panel.


If the temperature sensor is working properly, the next most common cause of the F2 error code is damage to the control board. Control board damage usually occurs because the oven has reached an excessively high temperature, which has caused the soldered connections to fuse together on the control board.


The control board can be accessed by removing the control panel. Depending on the model, you may need to remove screws at the back of the oven to assist with removing the control panel screws. Once you have located the control board, examine the control board for signs of damage.


If the control board is noticeably damaged, replacing the control board should resolve the F2 error code. However, control boards can be expensive to replace, and they are difficult to test, so it may pay to have a qualified technician diagnose the issue.


Error or fault codes are programmed in allGeneral Electricelectronic oven controls. The codes are used to help you ortechnicians diagnose what the issue with the oven is. Whenthese codes are displayed you can often find what theproblem is within the manual that came with your oven. Afteryou have found the problem you can determine if you willattempt to try to fix the problem yourself or call anoven repair service.


If the F2 error code has frozen on the oven after shuttingdown, then unplug the oven for 30 seconds.Plug the oven back in and see if the error code appearsagain. At times glitches will occur and the error code willrandomly appear. If the code does not reappear than it wasjust a glitch and you can continue to use the oven asnormal.


If after resetting the oven the F2 error code still appears,you will have to determine which component is faulty,because, as stated above, the error code means that acomponent needs to be replaced, but you have to first findout which component it is.


If you feel comfortable replacing these parts on your own,find your oven`s model number in your manual. If you nolonger have the manual, you will find a sticker with themodel information on the inside of the oven door. After youhave found the model number order the appropriate parts fromthe General Electric site.


If after you have gone through all of the steps listed aboutand still cannot assess the problem, or have assessed theproblem but do not feel comfortable replacing the parts onyour own, you then should call anoven repair service.

As a rule, there is no need to call a maintenance assistant when you see an error code. Most likely, you can eliminate the reason for it yourself. When the "F3" error code flashes, a small part known as the oven temperature sensor has encountered an error and fails to work anymore. According to manual, the error means an opened or shorted oven temperature sensor. There are a few parts that could be causing the fault. These include the wire harness, control board or the oven temperature sensor itself. In order to locate the source of the error, it is important to take it one step at a time. An ohmmeter can be used to test the resistance of the temperature sensor. You should also test the wire harness and control board for any possible problems or loose wires. Diagnosing the fault requires an understanding of the intricate nature of the appliance as well as the right tools. Improper techniques or tools can cause more harm than good. The problem could be caused by something as simple as a loose connection. Alternatively, a part might need to be replaced. After determining the cause of the fault, a technician needs to perform the replacement. Attempting the part replacement or repair yourself can result in additional damage. More damage results in more delays and higher repair costs. When you meet a dead end stop risking your appliance safety. Contact a professional helper to delegate all hassles and get the best result.
