Failure Code |
Fault Code Description |
Solution |
| F0 |
Stuck touch pad |
Usually means that either the touch pad or the oven control (also called
clock or ERC) is defective and needs to be replaced. If this fault code
cannot be cancelled, replace the oven control (also called clock or ERC),
touch pad, or both. |
| F1 |
Stuck touch pad |
Usually means that either the touch pad or the oven control (also called
clock or ERC) is defective and needs to be replaced. If this fault code
cannot be cancelled, replace the oven control (also called clock or ERC),
touch pad, or both. |
F2
During
BAKE |
Control senses oven temperature above 615F-630F |
If actual over temperature condition occurred: Look for welded
relay contacts on bake or broil relays. If this happens, replace oven
control (also called clock or ERC).
If no over temperature condition occurred: Look for a high
resistance connection or any other cause of high resistance in the oven
temperature sensor circuit. Check sensor, sensor harness and sensor
harness connection at sensor and oven control. Replace sensor if found
defective.
Remember: Oven control (ERC) measures resistance of sensor circuit
, not actual oven temperature. |
F2
During
CLEAN |
Control senses oven temperature above 915F-930F |
If actual over temperature condition occurred: Look for welded
relay contacts. If this happens, replace oven control (also called clock
or ERC).
If no over temperature condition occurred: Look for a high
resistance connection or any other cause of high resistance in the oven
temperature sensor circuit. Check sensor, sensor harness and sensor
harness connection at sensor and oven control. Replace sensor if found
defective. Check door lock switches.
Remember: Oven control (ERC) measures resistance of sensor circuit
, not actual oven temperature. |
F3
or
F4 |
Open or shorted oven temperature sensor (RTD) |
Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control.
Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok. |
| F5 |
Loss of relay drive circuit |
If this fault code cannot be cancelled, replace the oven control (also
called clock or ERC). |
| F8 |
Shorted meat probe |
Problem could be with the probe, the receptacle, or probe circuit. Check
probe. Look for pinched wire. Look for condensation or contamination on
probe receptacle.

| F9 |
Lock switch |
Check wiring to door lock switch (the wire harness may be connected
wrong). Check for stuck lock switch. |
| FC |
Problem with door lock circuit such as pinched wires between control and
door lock switches on motorized lock circuits |
Check wiring and test operation of switches. |
| FD |
Shorted meat probe |
Problem could be with the probe, the receptacle, or probe circuit. Check
probe. Look for pinched wire. Look for condensation or contamination on
probe receptacle. Replace probe if all else checks out ok. |
| FF |
Loss of door motor safety switch |
Replace the oven control (also called clock or ERC). |
| FFF |
Control error, failed EEPROM |
Replace the oven control board (also called clock or ERC).
The main control operates a series of software commands, which control the
various features and functions of the oven. Each function or operation has
a numerical value assigned to it. The numerical values can be added up -
this is called the check sum operation. Every time the system is powered
up and after each clean cycle the system performs a check sum and compares
the value to the value programmed into the software (stored in memory).
An EEPROM check sum error or FFF code occurs when the values differ. If
this happens, replace the oven control board (also called clock or ERC). |

GE Microwave Fault Codes |

Failure Code |
Fault Code Description |
Solution |
| F1 |
Oven cavity thermistor open |
Check oven thermistor for continuity. Replace if zero or infinite ohms. |
| F2 |
Oven cavity thermistor closed |
Check oven thermistor for continuity. Replace if zero or infinite ohms. |
| F3 |
Key panel (touch pad) shorted |
This code will occur if a shorted key panel is detected continuously over
60 seconds. Replace key panel (also called touch pad). |
F4
or
F5 |
Humidity sensor open or shorted |
Replace humidity sensor. |
| F6 |
Shorted temperature probe |
This code will occur if temp. probe is detected as shorted continuously
over 5 seconds. Replace temperature probe. |
