Hotpoint Oven Error Code F2
Oven ran past its temperature ceiling
Common Causes
- 1Bake or broil relay welded shut on the ERC
- 2RTD sensor shorted low
- 3Heat driving with no cutback
This is a fire-safety code. Stop using the oven until it is repaired and keep the breaker off until it is diagnosed.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Cancel the bake and crack the door to let the heat roll out of the cavity
- 2
Trip the breaker straight away — an oven that will not stop heating is a safety matter
- 3
Once cool, ohm the RTD sensor and expect close to eleven hundred ohms at a seventy-degree room
- 4
A sensor that checks out fine leaves a welded bake or broil relay on the ERC, so the board is replaced
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Cut power first — this is a safety fault. The RTD reads about eleven hundred ohms cold and climbs toward sixteen hundred near a moderate bake; if it tracks correctly, the runaway heat is a welded relay on the control rather than the sensor.
