GE Error Code F2
Oven over-temperature
Common Causes
- 1Oven sensor failure
- 2Relay stuck closed
- 3Control board fault
F2 is a fire safety code. Do not continue using the oven until repaired. Keep the breaker off until a technician diagnoses the issue.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Cancel any active cook cycle and open oven door to ventilate
- 2
Power off at breaker immediately — over-temp is a safety concern
- 3
After cool-down, test oven sensor resistance at room temp (should read ~1080 ohms at 70F)
- 4
Check sensor wire connections at both sensor and ERC board
- 5
If sensor tests good, the bake or broil relay on the ERC may be stuck closed
- 6
Replace oven sensor first (most common cause); replace ERC if relay is stuck
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Measure sensor resistance: ~1080 ohms at 70F, ~1600 ohms at 350F. If resistance reads open (infinite) or shorted (<500 ohms at room temp), sensor is failed. On GE Monogram dual-fuel ranges, check both upper and lower oven sensors — F2 does not always specify which cavity.
