Low Medium High
Code 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. View
