What F2
actually means.
F2, printed as F20 on some GE controls, means the oven temperature climbed past a threshold GE sets as the safe ceiling. GE describes the cause as unknown, so the control shuts heating down rather than guess.

What to do when F2 shows on the stoveKind of codeOven heating
The oven part of the stove was set to bake or broil and did not warm the way the controls expected, or took far too long to get there. On an electric stove a bake or broil element that has burned through is the everyday reason; on a gas stove the oven igniter and the valve it opens are looked at first. The wiring and the relay on the board are checked before the board itself is blamed.
Usually leads toStove 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.

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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE's own guidance for F2 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the stove off at the breaker right away.
Keep the oven door shut if you see smoke, and let the stove cool completely.
Book a visit before using the oven again; the burners may be used briefly with the breaker on if they are needed.

What not to do
F2 is not a reminder that self-clean is running or that the door was left open. It is a real overheat reading, and GE treats it more seriously than the keypanel codes.
