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.

What to do when F8 shows on the stoveKind of codeControl 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 toControl 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.

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.
Press Cancel/Off and let the oven sit for an hour.
Cut power at the breaker for at least 30 seconds.
If F8 repeats, keep the breaker off between uses and book a visit.

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.
