Monogram Ovens F2 Error: Oven over-temperature
The F2 error on a Monogram wall oven means the oven has exceeded its maximum safe temperature — typically above 590°F (310°C) during baking or broiling, or an over-temperature threshold during self-clean. The control has cut power to the heating elements.

Answer to continue safely
Is it safe to keep using?
No. Do not use the wall oven after an F2 event until the cause is confirmed and repaired. An oven that overheats creates a fire hazard to adjacent cabinetry and can damage the oven's internal components.
Can I reset the code?
Yes. Restoring power after full cool-down will clear F2, but the code will return if the overheating cause is not addressed. Do not continue cooking after clearing F2 without verifying actual oven temperatures.
When to stop immediately?
Stop if you notice: You see smoke or smell burning coming from the oven or adjacent cabinetry, The oven continues to heat after you turn off the controls.
Symptoms You May Notice
Oven shuts down with food still cooking
The wall oven cuts out abruptly during baking or broiling, leaving food undercooked, and displays F2 with an alarm.
Food burns before the set cook time
Baked goods, casseroles, or roasts are charred or overcooked significantly before the timer expires, indicating the oven ran hotter than the set temperature.
Self-clean cycle terminates early
The self-clean cycle stops before completing and F2 is shown, with the door remaining locked until the oven cools.
Surrounding cabinet area feels excessively hot
The cabinet or trim adjacent to the wall oven is abnormally hot during or after cooking, suggesting elevated oven temperatures are radiating outward.
Possible Causes
Faulty oven temperature sensor reading falsely low
A sensor with a lower-than-correct resistance reading tells the control the oven is cooler than it is, causing continuous heating past the safe limit.
DIY PossibleStuck heating element relay on control board
A bake or broil element relay has welded closed, sending continuous power to the element regardless of the control board's commands.
Requires ProfessionalFailed electronic oven control board
The EOC board has lost the ability to cycle the heating elements off at the correct temperature.
Requires ProfessionalSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Shut Down and Cool Completely
Immediately turn off power at the circuit breaker. Do not open the oven door if the self-clean cycle was running. Allow the oven to cool for at least 45 minutes before restoring power.
The self-clean door lock will not release until the cavity drops below approximately 550°F — do not attempt to force it.

2
Verify Actual Oven Temperature
After restoring power, set the oven to 350°F. Place an independent oven thermometer at the center of the rack. Monitor the thermometer for 30 minutes after the preheat signal. Note whether the actual temperature significantly exceeds 350°F.
A reading 50°F or more above the set point confirms an over-temperature problem rather than an isolated sensor signal error.

Test Sensor Resistance
Disconnect wall oven power. Access and disconnect the temperature sensor from its harness. Measure resistance with a multimeter. A sensor reading significantly below 1,080 ohms at room temperature (such as 700–900 ohms) may be reading falsely cool, causing the oven to overheat.
Compare against the expected 1,080-ohm baseline. Even a modest low reading can be enough to cause the oven to run hotter than set.

When to Call a Professional
Contact a qualified technician if:
- Sensor replacement did not stop the oven from overheating
- The oven heats continuously even with controls off — relay fault requires board replacement
- The control board shows visible burn marks or arcing at relay contacts
