FD relates to the temperature probe you push into a roast and plug into a socket inside the oven. GE says either the probe or that socket may have to be replaced. Café stove display What to do when FD shows on the stove ### Kind of code Temperature sensor The thin probe on the back wall of the oven sent the stove a reading it would not trust, or one that kept climbing past the setting. A loose plug behind the stove or a probe knocked against the racks is ruled out before the sensor or the board is replaced. If the oven keeps getting hotter with the controls turned off, switch the stove off at its breaker first. ### Usually leads to Stove oven heating repair The oven part of a stove that stays cold, heats slowly or bakes too hot or too cool, fixed at the bake and broil elements, the oven igniter, the gas valve or the temperature sensor. ### Shows up as Oven on My Stove Runs Hot or Cold Recipes take much longer or much less time than they should, cakes burn on the outside and stay raw inside, or an oven thermometer disagrees with the display by more than a little. ### Make Café A GE Appliances label that lets owners pick the knob and handle finish on their stove. ### Source GE Appliances support: oven error and function code list Café stoves with electronic oven controls.

Unplug the probe from the oven wall and check the plug and cable for damage. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can I keep cooking on my Café with FD if I stop using the probe? Often yes, if the code clears without the probe plugged in. If it stays, the socket needs a look. ### Why did FD appear after I ran my Café probe through the dishwasher? Water inside the probe can upset its reading. Let it dry fully or try a replacement probe. ### Does FD affect self-clean on a Café? Self-clean should not be run with the probe plugged in. Remove it before cleaning. --- **[Read on the site: Café stove showing FD | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/cafe-fd/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
