How to fix the F2E0 code

Unplug the oven or switch it off at the breaker before removing any panel or filter.

1. 1

   Step 1: Reset power at the breaker

   Turn off the circuit breaker for the oven for one minute, then turn it back on. Watch the display for one minute.

2. 2

   Step 2: Dry the control panel

   Wipe the panel with a dry cloth. Next time, spray cleaner onto the cloth, not onto the panel, so liquid cannot seep behind it.

3. 3

   Step 3: Check for stuck keys

   Press each key gently and make sure none feels stuck or stays down.

4. 4

   Step 4: Leave it off if it was wet

   If liquid got behind the panel, leave the breaker off for a few hours to let it dry before trying again.

You'll need: Soft dry cloth.
