Oven temperature sensor
Oven temperature too high or stuck key
Diagnose first: If sensor reads ~1080 ohms at room temp it's fine — then suspect stuck touchpad button or relay welded on the control board.

How to fix it
- Unplug the range or shut off power at the breaker.
- Test the oven temperature sensor's resistance at room temperature (roughly 1,080 ohms is normal for most models).
- Inspect the sensor's wiring and connector for damage or corrosion.
- If diagnosis confirms the fault, replace the oven temperature sensor (typical cost $20-40, about 30 min, easy DIY).
- Still throwing F2? Test the control board and its wiring next ($150-400).
Why it happens
Typical signs: F2 shown on the display · Oven temperature reads incorrectly or oven will not heat as expected
- Most likely: Oven temperature sensor If the sensor reads roughly 1,080 ohms at room temperature it's likely fine — then suspect the control or its wiring instead.
- Next most likely: Control board or sensor wiring If the primary fix does not resolve the code, test the wiring and control board next.
