Oven & Range Error Codes
Oven and range codes — F1, F9, E2 — usually involve temperature sensors, door locks, or the control board. If the oven overheats or a code mentions the sensor, stop using it: overheating ovens are a fire risk. Look up your brand below for the exact code.

Common oven problems
- Oven not heating correctly: a failed temperature sensor is the most common cause and is testable with a multimeter.
- Door locked / F9 codes: wait for the oven to cool fully, then try a power reset before forcing anything.
- Self-clean problems: never force the door during or right after a self-clean cycle.
- Burning smell or sparks: turn off the breaker and call a technician — do not use the oven.
Safety first
Work through fixes from simplest to most advanced, and stop when a guide tells you to call a technician. Never bypass safety switches, and for gas or high-voltage equipment call a licensed professional.
