WE JUST GOT A CODE F2

Hi Ross,
The error code E A on your Smeg induction cooktop indicates a communication error between the electronics of the cooktop and the specific burner. This could be caused by a fault in the electronics of the burner, a wiring issue, or a problem with the main control board of the cooktop.
You can try to reset the cooktop by turning off the power supply to it and then turning it back on after a few minutes. If the error code persists, it is recommended to contact Smeg customer service or a certified technician for assistance in diagnosing and repairing the issue.

Hi,

Need model number of your range to answer this question. Is this gas or electric? Is this a freestanding range or cooktop because I only can find information on ranges with this fault code given. All should EEPROM communication error which is a communication error on start up. when the top was damaged was the unit being used? Was water or liquid a factor when this damage happened? A loose wire would be a different error code or fault code like a F2 - E1 or E2, not your code given. I hope this helps, need more information. Thanks

You most likely have a failed oven sensor or the control / clock has failed. Self clean mode lets the oven get extremely hot and sometimes causes electronics to fail.

Call repair. They will know what the code is and can fix it. And if you are warranted, they'll do it free. Stoves are too complicated these days and they simply don't have to be. If you are hungry you want to cook and eat, not program some more. Please also look in your owners manual. I bet it will tell you what -F2 means.

Hi,
Here below we have aprocedure to try to see if you can save the ERC.
F1 touch pad / ERC test
This simple test will help determine
whether the ERC (Electronic Range Control or Clock) or the touch pad is
defective when F1 error code is present.

Note: Some models
incorporate the touch pad in to the ERC as a single assembly, in which case this
test is not necessary. Simply replace the ERC (Clock).

Warning: If
you feel in any way uncomfortable performing this test or making this repair,
please contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

1. Disconnect
power to the range (unplug the range power cord or turn the power off to the
range at the circuit breaker). It is very important that the power to the range
has been disconnected, so please double check before continuing.
2. Gain
access inside the control panel.
3. Disconnect the touch pad (also called
keypad or membrane switch) ribbon from the ERC.
4. Make sure there are no
lose wires, or anything else that may cause a short when power is turned back
on. Assemble the control panel back the way it was.
5. Turn the power back
on.
6. Wait for at least one hour to see if the F1 code comes back (usually
accompanied by a beeping sound).
7. If F1 comes back, replace the ERC. If it
does not, replace the touch pad.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Error F2-E0 in your Whirlpool range indicates shorted keypad. To resolve this issue you’ll have to replace the electronic range control (ERC). Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks
Rylee

The "F2 - E0" error code means "Shorted keypad".

Remove power from the range, open the control panel and unplug the membrane switch ribbon from the control board.

Reconnect power to the range and observe for an hour.

If the error code reappear - replace the control board.

If not - replace the membrane switch.

If I get the model # I can help you pind the right parts.

Good Luck and please rate 4 thumbs for the free answer

Long Drain
If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned off and "F/02" is flashed.
NOTE: After 4 minutes the "Sud" error will be displayed, then 4 minutes later the F02 error code will be displayed.

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

• Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked.
• Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running.
• Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects.
• If the above does not correct the problem, replace the pump.

If you have a Kenmore or Dacor, Thermador, Amana Caloric, Westinghouse, Admirals, or if you have some retagged oven from this brands, F2 is temperature runaway, usually a bad temperature probe.
On Admirals you may need to test the relay board.

Try disconnecting power (trip circuit breaker or disconnect power cord).
If the error is still there, test if the probe has continuity, then eventually replace it.
On Whirlpool ovens F2 is a faulty keypad assembly.
To get a technician to do the repair call the support number listed on the manual.

Here is some wisdom for understanding F1 fault codes.

In some models, there are subcodes that make diagnosis even easier.

Here's a simple explanation of what's going on and how to troubleshoot:

The F1 code indicates that:


a. The electronic range control (ERC) is sensing heat in the oven when in a time-of-day (i.e., not cooking) mode.

b. The ERC is receiving information to run multiple heat functions simultaneously.


Although different components (depending upon the model) could generate the code, simple and straightforward testing using your ohm meter is all you gotta do to test for it.

1. Check the oven temperature sensor. The oven sensor has to be within spec or it will cause the F1 code.
As an example of being out-of-spec, the ERC will generate an F1 fault code when the sensor shows 1650 ohms during a time-of-day mode.
This is equivalent to 350°F in the oven.
The resistance isn't high enough to generate an F2 code (runaway temp) or an F3 or F4 code (shorted/open sensor circuit).
The ERC monitors the sensor circuit after a heat cycle and expects the resistance to drop back to 1050-1100 ohms.
The fault code is generated when this doesn't happen. Checking the sensor circuit means also checking the harness,
harness connections and the sensor itself.

2. If the oven sensor circuit checks okay, then turn your inquisitive eyeballs to the touchpad.
If the range has a separate touchpad/keyboard, the keypad may have moisture that is shorting several circuits simultaneously.
If the F1 code is given immediately (instead of during or after a heat cycle),
remove the ribbon connector from the touchpad to the ERC after clearing the F1 code. If the F1 code does not return in five minutes,
then cast a suspicious gaze upon the touchpad/keyboard. Shorts may be caused by using an ammonia-based glass cleaner.
The touchpad surface will absorb ammonia-based cleaners that are sprayed directly on the glass surface. When heat is applied,
the surface material can break down causing shorts.
If you're gonna use ammonia-based cleaners on your control panel, then you should spray it on the rag and then wipe the touchpanel
-don't spray directly onto the surface of the touchpad.

3. On Amana ranges with a rotary temperature dial, be sure that the knob is in the OFF position when performing tests.

4. If these tests all check good, then replace the ERC.
