  Thank you so much.

  On my ge double oven it was a simple fix. the temperature sensor is made at a slight angle. the one in my top oven was mounted to point slightly down.this oven works. the one in my bottom oven was put in angling slightly upward and close to the heating coils which was cause it to over heat and trip the code. I simply turned it over and oven now works fine.

• Kirsten Flumerfelt // Jun 2, 2015 at 9:49 pm

  Can I still bake in the oven with this error flashing? I was in the middle of baking a cake!

• Gene // Jun 3, 2015 at 3:25 pm

  Hello Kirsten.

  I do not think you can do it because the oven functions should be disabled. The cause of the problem should diagnosed and fixed. The complete model number of the oven can help.

  GE wall oven F2 error

  Any advice. We kept getting an F2 error code we did check the ohm meter and it seemed fine but we chose to just replace the sensor. Oven seemed to be fixed. We just tried to use oven and now it will not heat. You select temp and it beeps right away trying to say it reached temperature but it never even heated above room temperature. Please help. I’m a mom who is prettygood with electronics and can take just about any appliance apart. Don’t know if I just need to buy a new oven.

• Tasha // Aug 2, 2015 at 8:17 pm

  Forgot to mention now there is no error code that flashes. You select the temp it beeps that it is there and then after 5-10 minutes it just shuts off.

• Gene // Aug 5, 2015 at 9:35 pm

  Hello Tasha,

  Thank you for your question.
  In order to provide most accurate advice I need the complete model number of the oven.

  I have a GE TrueTemp Oven, it came with the house so it is most likely 2002. While cooking, it gave me an F2 code and would not shut off at all. I had to flip the breaker just to shut down the oven. We replaced the temperature sensor. Used the over 3 times and it’s throwing the f2 code and running away again, had to flip the breaker to shut it down. Any suggestions?

• Gene // Sep 6, 2015 at 9:37 pm

  Hello Paula,

  Thank you for your question.

  Sounds like the problem is a faulty control board.

  If you need the correct part number, the complete model number of the oven might help.

  Gene.

• Seth // Sep 16, 2015 at 7:22 pm

  My oven is also continuously flashing the F2 error, I will have to flip the breaker to get it to stop so I can sleep tonight… anyways my model number is J RP24GOP1BG

• Gene // Sep 18, 2015 at 8:38 pm

  Hello Seth,

  Thank you for your question.

  Most likely the ERC (electronic range control) has failed. Unfortunately GE has discontinued this part and it is no longer available. Sorry for such sad news but it is probably time for a new range.

• Babs Wood // Sep 18, 2015 at 6:51 pm

  Hi Gene,

  I was about 1 1/2 hours into self-cleaning my oven when the F2 light came on with the beeping noise. I have a GE Profile Performance oven that is built into the cabinet. My husband is out of town and I cannot pull the oven out by myself. What should I do to stop the beeping? Thank you!!

• Gene // Sep 18, 2015 at 8:46 pm

  Hello Babs Wood,

  Just to stop the beeping the easiest way is to flip off the oven circuit breaker. It suppose to be in the house breaker box.
  If you’ll decide to fix it yourself, send me the complete model number of the oven.

  Thank you,

  Gene.

• Steve // Sep 19, 2015 at 12:24 pm

  Hi, Gene- Tried to clean upper oven & F2 code showed and beeping went on. I shut off power at fuze box. Beeping stopped and ERC panel is dark. Oven door is locked during autoclean, so I cannot get model# & other info. How do I open the door?

• Gene // Sep 24, 2015 at 6:04 pm

  Hello Steve,

  Try to power up the oven and cancel the clean cycle. It it would not work, email the picture of the oven to Gene@askgene.com

  Thank you,
  Gene.

  Our Frigidaire electric wall oven won’t turn on
  model #FEB386CESH
  Serial #NF11414767
  We had the oven on last night starting to cook something and it just beeped and turned off. The error display just says “off”. I am thinking it is the heat sensor but not sure.

• Gene // Dec 5, 2015 at 4:19 pm

  Hello candace,

  Thank you for your question.

  Sounds like the oven is in lockout (child resistant lock) mode. Lockout can be set or cancelled by pressing the COOK TIME / BAKE TIME and STOP TIME pads at the same time.

  Good luck.
  Gene.

• Ashley // Dec 7, 2015 at 7:48 am

  Hi Gene,

  I was hoping you would be able to help with my question from a week or so ago. Is it possible for a F2 code to fix itself? Again, haven’t received the error code since the end of October and we are now faced with sending the board off to be fixed or buying a new oven.

• Gene // Dec 11, 2015 at 5:46 pm

  Hello Ashley,

  Sorry for the delay.

  Normally it is impossible for any error code to fix by itself. For more accurate advice I need the complete model number of the oven.

  Thank you,
  Gene.

• Lisa // Dec 12, 2015 at 5:57 pm

  Hi Gene,

  F2 error code & beeping when GE Built-In Electric Oven is not in use. JTP11WS (and possibly a WG at the end). I can stop the beeping by pushing some buttons, but I’ve resorted to flipping the breaker off before leaving the apartment.

  Is there any hope for a fix? It’s a built-in so replacing sounds difficult.

  Thanks,
  Lisa

• Gene // Dec 13, 2015 at 11:02 pm

  Hello Lisa,

  The cause of the problem is most likely a faulty ERC (oven control board). Unfortunately this part has been discontinued and is no longer available. Looks like it’s a time for a new oven.
  In search for a new oven the most important for you besides the price is to match the width and height of the cabinet opening.

  Good luck.
  Gene.

• Jayne Killackey // Dec 20, 2015 at 11:20 am

  Hi Gene,
  I have a 22 year old XL44 GE gas range. The F2 error code beeps when the oven is not in use. The only way to stop the sound was to unplug it. I know to shut off breaker to check further, but I don’t know which panel to remove to look for part numbers, etc. The number shown on the paper wiring diagram attached to the back is 348A8003P005. Does that help at all? I’m guessing it’s time for a new range, given its age.
  Thanks in advance for your help.
  Jayne

• Gene // Dec 22, 2015 at 8:32 pm

  Hello Jayne,

  The correct model number is very important for correct troubleshooting. Depending on your range, the model and serial numbers can be found on a label on the front of the range, behind the kick panel or storage drawer.

  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  Gene.

• Jeff // Dec 24, 2015 at 12:23 pm

  Hey Gene – Love your site. My Kenmore 326b1230p002 just ran into this problem and the top element won’t shut off unless I throw the breaker. I can’t find the control board listed on your link to Appliance Parts Pros. I’m thinking I’m SOL – any ideas? New oven time?

• Gene // Dec 27, 2015 at 6:31 pm

  Hello Jeff,

  Thank you for your good words.

  You probably can not find any information because the numbers you send are not the model number. Verify and resend it please.

  Happy New Year!

  can this f2 error catch oven on fire

• Gene // Dec 27, 2015 at 6:27 pm

  Hello Stine,

  Thank you for your questions.

  Yes, in some circumstances it can. You should stop using the oven until it fixed.

  Happy New Year!

• Jim // Dec 25, 2015 at 7:39 am

  Hi Gene:
  The F2 error light flashes and beeps on my 28-yr old GE JTP45 oven after it has been cleaning for about an hour. After shutting down the power, I put the oven in bake mode at a temperature setting of 350, and the F2 error did not appear. In addition, the reading reached on the digital temperature display agreed with a thermometer I placed inside the oven. I then tried the clean mode again and, as before, the F2 error code appeared after about an hour. Help!

• Gene // Dec 27, 2015 at 5:47 pm

  Hello Jim,

  Thank you for your question.

  I found the technical bulletin issued by GE concerning this problem. It says:

  “We have experienced nuisance service calls for an “F2” error code during the self-clean cycle with high altitude
  installations (5,000 ft or above) of Single & Double Wall Ovens built before June 2007. This case usually involves a cabinet that is completely enclosed on top, back, bottom and sides; thus restricting air flow to the cooling fan. Under these conditions, as the oven heats up, the temperatures in the component compartment elevate as well. With limited air flow, the thermal limiter (fan apparency switch) in the lock motor circuit may open. If the thermal limiter opens, the oven will shut off and the control will display an “F2″ error code.
  Suggested Troubleshooting:
  Check for the following:
  Stalled cooling fan
  Fan turning the wrong way (You should feel air flow moving towards the front of the range).
  Poor connection in the lock circuit between the lock motor and the ERC.
  Dust / blockage of the screen that covers the cooling fan.
  Make sure that the front cutout for the product is even with the cabinet floor that supports the range. If the cabinet floor is below the front cutout for the product, air flow will be restricted. Per the installation instructions, the front cutout for the product must even with the cabinet floor that supports the range.
  For a F2 Error Code, check the below as well:
  a.Pinched, cut or burned sensor wires
  b.Poor connections at the electronic range control (ERC)
  c.Poor connection between the sensor and the sensor harness
  d.Defective sensor
  If the above standard troubleshooting suggestions fail to fix the problem, the addition of a 12″ by 12″ hole (cut in the center of the cabinet floor under the product) may improve air flow in high altitude installations.”

  Happy New Year!

• Christina // Feb 13, 2016 at 6:42 am

  Hi 🙂

  I have a Fridgidaire self cleaning convection oven model FW647W-3 with an err f2 message and a continual buzzing to go with it.

  Pushing buttons doesn’t change or stop it. Unplugging and replugging changes the screen but when I try to reset the clock it goes straight back to the f2 error.

  I unplugged it.

  Help?

• Gene // Feb 17, 2016 at 2:48 pm

  Hello Christina,

  Thank you for your question.

  Something burned inside the control compartment can be due to damaged ERC. Unfortunately the model number you provided does not come up. Please verify the model number and resend it to me.

  Gene.

• Christina // Feb 13, 2016 at 6:42 am

  I pulled off the back panel and noticed that the fibreglass insulation looks burnt..lol! This can’t be normal?

• Wally // Feb 14, 2016 at 3:12 pm

  Hi Gene,
  I have a GE electric range- JBP26WY3WW- during baking the upper oven element wouldn’t turn off and I got a F2 error code. The only way to turn it off was to flip the breaker.
  Any advice?
  Also while waiting to get this fixed, is it safe to remove the element so I can turn the breaker on and use the cook top?

• Gene // Feb 16, 2016 at 2:06 pm

  Hello Wally,

  Thank you for your question.

  The cause of the problem with your range is a bad bake relay due to soldered relay contacts. The solution is to replace the electronic control board.

  The part number for the electronic control board is wb27x10311

  You can order the part by clicking on the part number.

  As a temporary fix, to let you use the surface burners do the following:

  Remove the power to the range by turning off the circuit breakers;
  Pull the range out of the wall;
  Remove the rear panel;
  Locate the wire connected to the control board BA terminal;
  Remove this wire from the control board and properly insulate it.

  Put everything back together and reconnect the power.

  Good luck.

  Gene.

• Wally // Feb 16, 2016 at 2:34 pm

  Gene, thanks for the quick reply.

  Since I was off yesterday I did a little research and looked at the wiring diagram and figured it was the relay. I took out the control board and carefully removed the covers form the relays. I took some very fine sand paper and gently sanded the relay contacts and put it back together and it is working fine.

  Is this safe or should I go ahead and replace the part?

  To be on the safe side, for now I am turning off the breaker when not in use.

• Gene // Feb 17, 2016 at 2:14 pm

  Hello Wally,

  This is very good solution but, based in my experience, it would not last long. It is pretty safe to use the range but, keeping in mind that prices and availability for GE electronic controls are unpredictable, you may want to buy the part and keep it as the back up.

  Thank you for the feed back.

  Gene.

• Katheryn Caras // Feb 16, 2016 at 10:21 pm

• Lori // Oct 24, 2016 at 12:22 pm

  MY GE Profile double wall oven keeps beeping with an F2 error message on the lower oven control during use of the upper oven only–and just now it went off over an hour after I had last used the upper oven! The model number is J KP56AOW2AA. My ovens are a little more than 18 years old–can this be repaired or do I need to replace? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!!!!

• Gene // Oct 30, 2016 at 3:13 pm

  Hello Lori,

  Thank you for your question.

  Your oven can be repaired by replacing the control board. The cost of the part is $310.70, so you have to decide if the oven is worth it or it’s better to replace the whole oven.

  The part number for the control board is wb27T10289

  Good luck.
  Gene.

• Dave // Oct 26, 2016 at 11:36 am

  I too am getting the F2 message continuously even when not in use. It also randomly cuts off during cooking. fixable or no?
  Model no. J T912S0F3SS
  Serial no: VG6 25888Q

• Gene // Oct 30, 2016 at 2:25 pm

  Hello Dave,

  Thank you for your question.

  Everything is fixable as long as parts are available.:))
  In the situation with your range you would need to replace the ERC.

  The part number for the ERC is wb27T10800

  Good luck.
  Gene.

• Jenn C // Oct 27, 2016 at 5:57 am

  Hi, our GE Electric Oven (Model jbp82s0h2ss) is giving the F2 error code and the oven is not heating/shutting off. My husband has checked the oven temperature sensor which did read 1100 Ohms. We’d like to try to fix it ourselves but not sure which part to order. He did mention there was some corrosion near some wires on the back which he tried to remove but the oven still gave the F2 error code. Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

• Gene // Oct 30, 2016 at 2:12 pm

  Hello Jenn,

  Thank you for your question.

  If the oven temperature sensor checks OK then the Electronic Range Control has failed. One or more relays in the ERC failed closed. In order to fix this problem, the ERC would need to be replaced.

  The part number for the ERC is WB27T10473

  Good luck.

• Susan // Nov 5, 2016 at 8:45 am

  I have a ge spectra xl44 (can’t find model #). Was baking bread like I have for 15 years and all of a sudden my smoke detectors going off and I find the bread on top rack is literally on fire. I did see it was flashing F2 error and honestly not sure if it turned itself off, but I know I did as soon as I saw flames. It was almost as if the top broiler turned on by itself. Do you think sensor or thermostat?

• Gene // Nov 5, 2016 at 4:47 pm

  Hello Susan.

  Thank you for your question.

  Sounds like the problem is a faulty range control board. In order to provide more accurate advice I need the complete model number of the range. You can find it:
  1. Under the top panel
  2. On the oven door frame behind the door
  3. On the range frame behind the bottom drawer

• Eileen Kaplan // Nov 25, 2016 at 7:38 am

  Own a GE ˛L44 range/oven. The F2 code used to flash/turn off oven at 500 degrees. Now it flashes/beeps at 350 degrees. Is it worth repairing or should I seek a new product. My husband and I are NOT handy.

• Gene // Nov 26, 2016 at 9:44 pm

  Hello, Eileen.

  Thank you for your question.

  In such situation (you both are not handy) cost of repair could be between $200 to $500. Also, it is possible that the parts would not be available anymore. Sad news but, probably it’s time for a new range.

  Gene.

• Robert Block // Dec 9, 2016 at 10:26 am

  I had a GE j2s968sek1ss with an F2 problem. Replacing the sensor cured the problem for a year or so but the problem returned. This time, the plastic (!!!) connector on the sensor melted. Replaced connection with ceramic wire nuts and fibreglas tape and so far seems to be working.

• Gene // Dec 10, 2016 at 9:42 pm

  Hello Robert.

  Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your repair with us. Failed plastic connector is one of a very common reason for such problem so your post was very illuminating and instructive.

  Thanks again, and good luck with your range.

• KIM // Dec 25, 2016 at 4:57 am

  My oven turned on by itself and beeped with a F2 error code. Only top element was on. Turned breaker off and back on, no error code but oven still turns on by itself. It’s a Maytag wall oven model # MEW6627BAB

• Gene // Dec 26, 2016 at 12:38 am

  Hello, Kim.

  Thank you for your question.

  Looks like this is a double oven. Which oven is malfunctioning: upper or lower? What is shown on the display when it turns on by itself?

  Gene.

• Kim // Dec 26, 2016 at 6:04 am

  It’s the upper oven. Initially it flashed F2 but after we shut off the breaker and turned it back on the F2 is gone but oven still comes on by itself and we can only shut it off by breaker.

• Gene // Dec 26, 2016 at 5:01 pm

  Hello, Kim.

  Very likely the cause of the problem is the faulty relay board for the upper oven. It would need to be replaced. The relay board is located inside the oven control panel.

  The part number for the relay board is wp74006612

  You can order the part by clicking on the part number.

  Happy New year!

• Koua Jones // Feb 11, 2017 at 8:51 pm

  What part would I need to replace to fix the F2 error on my GE oven 164d3871 p001?

• Gene // Feb 16, 2017 at 11:05 pm

  Hello, Koua.

  Thank you for your question.

  Unfortunately, the model number you sent is incorrect. Please verify the model number and resend it.

  Gene.

• Koua Jones // Feb 17, 2017 at 10:10 pm

  Gene,

  The correct model number is JBP72SOK2SS. I initially saw the error code when using the broiler. I have used the range, up to 475°F, to cook since without seeing the F2 error code.

• Gene // Feb 18, 2017 at 6:59 pm

  Hello, Koua.

  Thank you for providing the correct model number.

  In such situation (F2 error code only while using the broiler), you may want to start repair from eliminating the oven temperature sensor plugs.

  Pull the range out of the wall and remove the power from the range by turning off the circuit breaker or unplugging the power cord. Remove the rear cover and locate the sensor wires coming through the oven back wall. There suppose to be a plastic connector which consists of two pieces. Cut off both plastic plugs and splice the sensor and wire harness wires using a high temperature wire nuts.
  Assemble everything back together, restore the power and give it a try.

  The part number for the high temperature porcelain wire nuts is AP3440631

  Good luck.

  Gene.

• Dan // Apr 24, 2017 at 9:23 pm

  Hi Gene,
  I am also a member of the F2 club (only upper oven that has the controls). My GE Wall Oven Model# is JTP28B0F3BB & s/n DG645428Q.

  Most anytime the upper oven is set more than 400F or the Broiler is on, the F2 code appears within 15 min and the oven turns off. Most of the time the oven just turns off and there is no displayed code. When I do get the F2 I do not need to reset power to clear the F2 code, only hit the off button.

  Also, recently when baking at temperatures below 400, the “real” oven temperature is much less than the set temp, but no error code appears.

  I am generally good with fixing things, but could use your help with replacement part numbers.

  Thanks so much,
  Dan

• Gene // Apr 26, 2017 at 10:24 pm

  Hello, Dan and welcome on board.

  You may want to start the troubleshooting from testing the upper oven temperature sensor resistance. The best way to do it is from the control board (ERC) plug. Remove the power from the oven and open the control panel. The oven sensor is connected to the J1 connector, pins 4 & 6. The normal reading should be about 1100 Ohms @ room temperature.

  If the reading is incorrect, the oven would need to be removed from the cabinet to access the sensor plug from the back of the oven. Check the oven sensor at the plug. If the reading is incorrect, the oven temperature sensor would need to be replaced. If the reading is correct, eliminate the plastic plug and splice the wires together using a high temperature porcelain wire nuts. Put everything back together and test the sensor resistance at the ERC again. Run the oven on a few different temperature settings.

  If the temperature sensor resistance is correct from the beginning, the ERC would need to be replaced.

  The part number for the oven temperature sensor is wb23t10015

  

  The part number for the ERC is wb27t10411

  Good luck.

  Gene.

• Scott M // May 9, 2017 at 8:34 am

  Hey Gene,

  I have a GE True Temp Oven showing an F2 code and the top burner stays on high with no way to turn the Oven off except via the breaker. Oven number is 326B1230P001. Any ideas on this oven and if it can possibly be repaired?

  Hi Gene, I have a GE Profile standing slide in stove purchased back in 96. I am getting an F3 error code and it shuts off. I am assuming I should try to replace the temperature sensor. The Model # J SP40B0W1BB

• Gene // Jun 11, 2017 at 4:02 pm

  Hi, Jay.

  Thank you for your question.
  Remove the power to the range by turning off the circuit breaker. Pull the range out of the wall and remove the rear cover(s) to access the temperature sensor wire harness. Unplug the sensor and check it for continuity using a multimeter. The normal reading at the room temperature should be about 1100 Ohms.
  If the reading is incorrect, the sensor would need to be replaced.

  If the reading is correct, do the same test at the control board plug.
  If the reading is incorrect, inspect the sensor wire harness and eliminate (cut off) the sensor plug by the sensor. Hardwire the sensor instead, using a high temperature porcelain wire nuts.

  If the reading at the control board is correct, the control board would need to be replaced. Sorry for the sad news but this part has been discontinued by GE and is no longer available. In such situation, it’s time for a new range.

  The part number for the oven temperature sensor is wb21x5301

  Good luck.
  Gene.

• Jon // Jun 2, 2017 at 3:55 pm

  F2 on a Spectra, model number J BP64B0B2CT circa 2003. Beeping of course and I imagine it didn’t stop until the temperature of the oven came down.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

• Jon // Jun 4, 2017 at 2:13 pm

  More information. Almost immediately upon turning the oven on to 450 degrees, it indicates Preheated. Temp sensor or control board?

• Gene // Jun 11, 2017 at 3:29 pm

  Hi, Jon.

  Thank you for your question.
  You may want to start the troubleshooting from testing the oven temperature sensor. Unplug the range (turn off the circuit breaker) and pull it out of the wall. Remove the rear control panel cover and locate the 5 pin plug at the control board. Unplug it and check for continuity between the two white wires (pins 4 & 5). The normal reading at the room temperature inside the oven suppose to be about 1100 Ohms.

  If the reading is incorrect, the temperature sensor would need to be replaced.

  The part number for the temperature sensor is wb21x22134

  If the reading is correct, the control board is the culprit and would need to be replaced.

  The part number for the control board is wb27t10231

  Good luck.
  Gene.

• Fredo FELLINI // Jun 26, 2017 at 7:04 am

  Hey Gene, I’ve found your post here as I seem to be having a similar issue as you’ve had and some of the other posters.
  I have a DGES387AS2 Frigidaire with the F2 code tripping only when I try activating the clean cycle.
  I haven’t done much testing “under the hood” but I suspect that in my case, it isn’t the sensor or ERC because everything else works and has been that way for a couple years… I’m just a little annoyed at having this function but not being able to use it…
  I believe, for the autoclean cycle, there are a couple things to verify; the lock function (button on panel – which doesn’t seem to respond or do anything) or the locking pin servo (90 degree pin that turns to lock oven door, seems a little flimsy)
  Any info on testing or checking these components would be great, a wiring diagram perhaps and possibly a replacement parts vendor.

  Thanks!

• Gene // Jul 2, 2017 at 10:39 pm

  Hello, Fredo.

  Thank you for your question.

  I need a bit more information.

  Did this error code show at the beginning, in a middle or at the end of the self-clean?

  Did the door lock during self-clean?

  Hi, we have a GE Profile double wall oven model JK955SFSS. Today about an hour after the oven was turned off, it beeped and showed an F2 error.

  We’ve looked through this post and see that there are many possible causes. Another issue we have been experiencing, which may be connected, is that when the oven is set to a temperature, the display shows it has reached temp/beeps and stays that way. However, if the oven is turned off and then back on to the desired temp, it can be as much as 20-30 degrees below the set temp.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thanks.

  Hello, Lindsey.

  Thank you for your question.

  I would recommend replacing the oven temperature sensor for the oven in question (you did not mention is it upper or bottom oven).
  I also would recommend to eliminate the sensor plug and splice the wires together using a high temperature wire nuts. The oven would need to be removed from the cabinet because the access to the sensor plug is from the back of the unit.

  Both sensors are identical.

  The part number for the oven sensor is wb21x22134

  Hi Gene – We have a 2005 GE Profile J2S968S H4SS (self-cleaning dual fuel slide-in range) and are also receiving the F2 notification. This just began during a self-cleaning. Please advise.

  This site has been very helpful. We look forward to your advice.

  Thank you,
  Robert

  Hello, Robert.

  Thank you for your question.

  During the self-clean the cooling fan should run. Did it?

  I replaced the control board on our Maytag wall oven model #CWG3100AA513/ser.#D14619097 and when I turn the breaker back on to power it up I get a constant beeping sound and it shows a F2EO error code. It won’t allow me to do anything not even turn on the oven light.

  Hello, Richard.

  Thank you for your question.

  Please verify the end of the model number after “AA”.
  What is the part number for the control board you installed?

  I have a GE gas range model JGBS60DEF1WW and I keep getting an F2 error. I bought a new control panel and the oven worked fine for 4 days and now I’mgetting the F2 error and the constant beeping again!!

  I checked the oven sensor and it is fine. What else can be wrong?? HELP!!!

  Hello, Nicole.

  Thank you for your question.

  Please describe more detailed how did you check the oven sensor and what was the result.

• Robert Udowitz // Jul 9, 2017 at 7:11 pm

  Gene – I am not certain but I do not think the cooling fan was operating. I activated the self clean and left the room. Typically I know I hear it but am not certain if I did this time.
  Thank you

  Hello, Robert.

  A problem with a cooling fan during self-clean can cause “F2” error code. You would need to verify if it’s functioning properly.

  I just moved into an apart with a Whirlpool gas oven. F2 goes off even when the stovetop is on – as well as, when the oven is on. I also cannot shut it off… but got lucky 3x when i keep hitting buttons.

  where can I find the Model number? It is wedged between cabinetry

  Any advise?

• Gene // Jul 19, 2017 at 3:38 pm

  Hello, Lezli.

  You can find the model number:
  1. Behind the oven door, on the frame.
  2. Behind the bottom drawer
  or
  3. Under the top panel.

  The complete model number is very important for proper diagnosis and parts search.

  Thank you,
  Gene.

  Hello, Melanie.

  Thank you for your question.

  I do not know Fe failure code for this model. Failure code F2E0 as well as F2E1 point to membrane switch failure.

  The part number for the membrane switch is wp8272702

  Hi Gene…
  First of all thank you for doing this…I just panicked because my oven just decided to have a mind of it own…lol…thus I found your page 🙂 I am the proud owner of a Whirlpool Accubake Super Capacity 465 self cleaning oven..I tried to find the serial numbers but they must be on the backside of the oven and I am unable to pull it away from the wall at this time. Basically I turned it on 425 to bake and it acted like it preheated but then in the middle of baking I received the E3 F2 error I flipped the breaker and let it cool, turned the breaker on and had the PF on the display…I then hit cancel….waited and all of the sudden the broiler came on without being set. It will not turn off by hitting cancel…so I have turned off the breaker and unplugged her….any ideas? Or do I need to ask Santa for a new oven:(…Thanks again!

  Hello, Melissa.

  Thank you for your question.

  The information you provided is not enough for accurate advice. The model number would help. You can find it on the frame behind the lower drawer. Also, there is something wrong in the error code reading. The correct stylistic should be F followed by one digit, then E followed by one digit. Please verify the error code and send it back to me with the complete model number.

  Merry Christmass!

  Gene.
