How to Reset a GE Appliances Oven
Breaker off for 60 seconds. Hard faults re-display immediately on power-up.
Reset Steps
- 1
Switch the range breaker off for 60 seconds.
- 2
Restore power and set the clock.
- 3
Bake-test at 350°F; if the code returns, follow its fix guide.
💡 Good to know: An F2 that only appears during self-clean can be lived with by not using self-clean, but a sensor reading hot at normal temps will drift baking accuracy too.
If the Code Comes Back
A code that returns after a reset means the underlying fault is still present. Look up your exact code for its causes and step-by-step fix:
F0 Keypad stuck — a button is continuously pressed F2 Oven over-temperature — exceeded 590°F in bake or 990°F in self-clean F3 Oven temperature sensor open circuit F4 Oven temperature sensor short circuit F7 Touchpad/membrane key button fault F8 Electronic Range Control internal fault F9 Door latch failure — self-clean lock not completing
Frequently Asked Questions
What does F2 mean on a GE oven? +
Oven over-temperature — the control saw a temperature beyond limits. Causes: a drifted/failing oven sensor, a welded relay on the control, or genuine runaway heat. Stop using the oven until diagnosed if it happens outside self-clean.
