# GE Profile stove showing F8

F8 is on GE's list with F5 and FF as a code that usually means the electronic control has to be replaced.

## What F8 actually means.

F8 is on GE's list with F5 and FF as a code that usually means the electronic control has to be replaced. On a Profile this is the board that also talks to the display and the smart features.

GE Profile stove display

What to do when F8 shows on the stove

### Kind of code Control board and power

The main board failed its own start-up check, lost contact with the display, or saw the supply voltage sag too low, often after a storm, a power outage or a spill that ran down behind the panel. The breaker, the cord and the outlet are ruled out before a board is replaced. A stove that sparks, smells of hot wiring or keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker first.

### Usually leads to Control board and display repair

Stoves with a blank or flashing display, touch keys that do not answer, codes that keep returning or a stove that will not turn on, traced to the board, the keypad or the power to them.

### Shows up as Stove Won't Turn On

Nothing happens anywhere on the stove: no burner heats, the oven stays cold, the clock and lights are dark, or the display lights up but nothing will start.

### Make GE Profile

A GE Appliances line that sits a step above the plain GE stoves in features and finish.

### Source GE Appliances support: oven error and function code list

GE Profile stoves with electronic oven controls. The number comes from GE Appliances' shared code list; Profile manuals print only "F— and a number or letter" and send you to that list.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for F8 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press Cancel/Off and let the oven sit for an hour.

02

Cut power at the breaker for at least 30 seconds.

03

If F8 repeats, keep the breaker off between uses and book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [control board and display repair](https://stoverepair.center/services/control-board-and-display-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

F8 is not a Wi-Fi or app problem. A stove that will not connect remotely has its own causes in the Profile manual, and F8 is not one of them.

## What you may notice with it.

The stove problems F8 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the stove before anyone is booked.

## Questions about F8.

### Can I clear F8 myself?

Press Cancel/Off and let the oven sit for an hour. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Will a software update fix F8 on my Profile?

GE does not say so. It lists F8 as a code that usually means the control itself needs replacing.

### Does F8 on a Profile stop the smart features too?

The control that shows F8 runs the oven and its connected functions, so expect those to be unreliable until it is repaired.

### My Profile showed F8 once and never again. Should I worry?

A single code after a power blip can be a one-off. Note the date; if it returns, book a visit.
