F99: Maximum Oven Door Lock Time Exceeded
The oven door has been attempting to lock for an extended period, signaling a possible problem with the locking mechanism or its associated circuitry.
FC0: Communication Error
There’s a communication issue between the various components or boards of the oven. This could be due to wiring problems or faulty components.
FC1: Temperature Sensor Calibration Error
The oven’s temperature sensor is not calibrated correctly, potentially leading to inaccurate temperature readings and cooking results.
FC2: User Interface Mismatch
The oven’s user interface doesn’t match the expected configuration for the control board, indicating potential software or hardware discrepancies.
FC3: Hardware Version Mismatch
The oven’s hardware components are not compatible or mismatched. This could be due to an incorrect replacement part or software update.
FC4: Software Version Mismatch
The software versions between different components of the oven are mismatched, leading to potential operational issues.
FC5: Oven Light Circuit Error
There’s an issue with the circuit that controls the oven’s interior light. This could involve the bulb, socket, or related wiring.
FC6: Oven Door Position Error
The oven cannot detect the correct position of the door. This might be due to a faulty door position sensor or associated circuitry.
FC7: Control Board Overheating
The oven’s control board is detecting temperatures above safe levels, potentially due to surrounding heat or a malfunctioning board.
FC8: Internal EEPROM Error
There’s a fault detected in the internal Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) of the control board, which might affect its function.
FC9: Oven Door Lock Motor Circuit Error
The circuitry controlling the door lock motor has encountered an error. This could impact the self-cleaning function or regular door locking mechanisms.
FD0: Fan Speed Error
The oven’s internal fan is not running at the expected speed. This might be due to a worn-out motor, obstructions, or circuitry issues.
FD1: Heating Element Circuit Error
There’s an issue detected in the circuitry that powers the oven’s heating element. This could affect the oven’s ability to heat up.
FD2: Internal Temperature Sensor Error
The internal temperature sensor of the oven is malfunctioning or providing inaccurate readings, potentially affecting cooking performance.
FD3: User Interface Response Error
The oven’s user interface is not responding as expected. This could be due to a faulty touch panel, control board, or associated connectors.
