How to fix it

Kill power at the breaker for 1 full minute, then restore.
If F0E0 returns, kill power again and reseat every connector on the back of the EOC and the user-interface board.
Inspect both boards for burnt traces, swollen capacitors, or scorched relays.
If nothing obvious is wrong but F0E0 still returns within a minute of power-up, replace the electronic oven control board.
After replacement, run a bake test to confirm normal operation.
