What F1E1 means
The F1E1 readout points toward the control unit of the oven or the wiring around it as the likely area.
What to try first
The only step given is a power cycle. Switch the breaker off or unplug the range and let it sit for one minute. Reconnect power, then keep watching for another minute to see whether F1E1 returns. Close by checking that the oven operates.
Code still showing?
If F1E1 reappears after the reset, book a technician visit.
