Meaning
Severity
Common Symptom
F1
Oven overtemperature
High
The control panel shows F1 and the oven cuts power to all heating elements immediately as a safety response.
View
F1-E0
Control board fault
High
The display shows the two-part code F1-E0 and the oven will not respond to any cooking commands; the control panel may also be unresponsive.
View
F2
RTD sensor open-circuit
High
The control panel shows F2 and the oven refuses to start any cooking cycle because the controller has no valid temperature input.
View
F2-E1
Steam generator fault
Medium
The code appears specifically when a steam or combination steam cooking mode is selected; standard bake and grill modes continue to function normally.
View
F3
RTD sensor short-circuit
High
The oven shows F3 on the panel and refuses to energise any element, as the controller detects an impossibly low resistance from the sensor.
View
F3-E2
Cooling fan fault
Low
The code appears after long bake sessions or during self-clean, suggesting the control electronics are overheating due to inadequate cooling.
View
F4
Door latch fault
Medium
The control panel shows F4. The door may be stuck in the locked position or may have failed to latch at the start of a self-clean cycle.
View
F5
PCB communication fault
Medium
The panel shows F5 and the oven stops responding to user commands; cooking functions may cease mid-cycle.
View
F6
Keypad/touch fault
Medium
One or more keys on the control panel do not register presses, preventing cycle selection, temperature adjustment, or timer use.
View
F7
Convection fan fault
Medium
The fault code appears specifically when a fan-assisted cooking mode (fan bake, fan grill, fan forced) is selected.
View
F8
Convection element fault
Medium
The code appears when fan bake or fan-forced modes are selected; standard bake using only the bottom bake element may still function.
View
F9
Self-clean cycle fault
Medium
The fault code appears while the pyrolytic clean is running or shortly after it ends; the cycle terminates early and the door remains locked.
