Error codeF2E1
ApplianceRange
Start with the grates
For F2E1 the manual asks for a look at the cooktop before any reset. Once the range has cooled, press on each grate: rock it from corner to corner and from side to side. A grate that wobbles may be sitting backwards, so swap the grates around. After you have rotated them, cycle the power to the range so the code can clear.
Then cycle the power
Cut power at the breaker.
Wait one minute.
Switch the breaker on again.
Monitor the oven for one minute and note whether F2E1 comes back.
Verify oven operation.
What F2E1 covers
The possible trouble spots are the keypad (user interface), the control and the wiring. The entry applies to ranges and wall ovens.
