5 If your oven has digital controls and it is displaying a fault or error code, (F1, F2, E3, E8, etc) it usually boils down to one of two or three problem areas. Either the temperature sensor, or something in the control circuitry has gone bad. There may also be a problem with the door switch, or the door locking mechanism or switch in a self-cleaning oven. Usually you will find the sensor inside the oven, at the top, near the back. The sensor may be removed through either the front or the back of the oven. Temperature sensors are usually fairly easy and inexpensive to identify and replace. Not so with the solid state circuit components. You may be able to trace the problem to a defective keypad or EOC or ERC (Electronic Oven / Range Control; essentially the clock unit,) but often the diagnosis is ambiguous. (i.e., it's either the ERC or the keypad.) Unfortunately, keypads and ERC's are electrical parts, and expensive ones at that. Electrical parts are almost always non-returnable at the parts store. So if you've misdiagnosed a problem and bought a keypad when the problem was a circuit board, you're now the not-so-proud owner of an expensive keypad that is of no use to you. For this reason, I caution you: IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF YOUR DIAGNOSIS, CALL A QUALIFIED, FACTORY-AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN to diagnose and repair your oven. It may cost a little more now, but ultimately you will probably save yourself a LOT of hassle and money. The factory-authorized technician has an advantage in that he can diagnose by trial and error and reuse the part if he guesses wrong. Please note also that manufacturers constantly change things, using different parts on different oven models. Though we do our level best to keep up on all the changes, we do not guarantee the accuracy of the error codes listed. Use them at your own risk. And don't forget; you're dealing with electricity here. As always, disconnect power on any control you're disassembling or assembling. When you need to test a live circuit, always make sure all contacts are clear from shorting, then energize the circuit just long enough to do your testing, Then de-energize the circuit again. Safety first!
