Range & Wall Oven - Oven Error, Fault or Function Codes
Fault codes are programmed in all range and wall oven models which feature electronic oven controls. These codes help GE Appliances Factory Service technicians quickly diagnose issues with the range or wall oven. In the event that the electronic control displays a fault code, a trained Service Technician should be called to diagnose and correct the issue. A summary of the most common fault codes and their meanings are listed below. We cannot provide all the fault codes for past and present models.Most Common Fault Codes
