Default F2 fault error on GE range - broiler element turns on


Monque Robinson wrote

I have a GE range model JBP30WA1WW . I received
an F2 error while baking cookies. The broiler element
turned on and I had to trip the breaker for the range in
order to turn it off. After letting the oven cool overnight
I reset the circuit breaker for the range and reset the
clock on the range. Within 20 minutes the broiler
element was heated (no F2 error in display). I have
turned the breaker for the range off again.

Does anyone have experience with this problem?

I agree with Jeff that the F2 was likely a warning that the
oven got too hot while baking probably because the
broil element came on. The broil element staying was
likely caused by a stuck relay in the electronic control.
If it were caused by a short in the range's wiring, in
most cases an element would only get warm rather
than red hot.


The oven is 6 years old and is used daily. I am
trying to determine the cost of repair vs. cost of
replacement.


I doubt the repair would be of such a high cost to
justify replacing the whole range. The electronic
control (part number WB27X10022) used on your
model is relatively inexpensive at around $80
(depending on where purchased) whereas many
are well over $100-$150. If you are able to replace
it yourself, all the better.

Hopefully, the oven will be repaired this afternoon.
I sure do appreciate your time in answering
my inquiry. I look forward to using my oven again.


Let us know how you make out and what turns out to be the eventual cause.
