F9E0 — Miswired electrical supply

The oven control is seeing the wrong voltage on one or both legs of its 240V supply, which usually means the home outlet or the power cord is miswired. Common after a new install, an outlet swap, or a power outage.

How to fix it

  1. Kill power at the breaker for at least 1 minute, then restore and wait 10 seconds before touching anything.
  2. If F9E0 clears, you're done — it was a power-event artifact.
  3. If it returns, disconnect the oven and have a qualified electrician verify the outlet wiring: 240V hot-to-hot, 120V hot-to-neutral on each leg, solid ground.
  4. Verify the power cord is wired correctly to the oven terminal block per the install instructions (3-wire vs 4-wire connections are different).
  5. Correct any miswiring at the outlet or terminal block before re-energizing.
  6. Once supply is verified good, restore power and the code should clear; if it doesn't, the control board has been damaged and needs replacement.

Why it happens

Typical signs: F9 or F9E0 right after installation or after a power outage · Oven won't heat at all · Sometimes accompanied by a PF code

  • Miswired 3-prong or 4-prong outlet/cord Hot, neutral, or ground swapped — common when DIY-installing a range or swapping a cord style.
  • Open neutral at the outlet A loose or broken neutral inside the receptacle gives the control bad voltage references.
  • Brownout or surge from a recent power event If the code came on right after a storm, a simple reset can clear it.
  • Keys pressed during the 10-second power-up delay Pressing buttons within the first 10 seconds of power-up can trigger F9E0 on some models.
