Monogram Range F2 Error: Oven over-temperature
The F2 error on a Monogram range means the oven has exceeded its maximum safe temperature limit. The control detected temperatures above approximately 590°F (310°C) during baking, broiling, or a self-clean cycle and has shut down the oven as a safety measure.

Answer to continue safely
Is it safe to keep using?
No. Do not use the oven when F2 is displayed. An over-temperature condition creates a fire risk and can damage oven components. The range must not be used until the root cause is diagnosed and repaired.
Can I reset the code?
Yes. The circuit breaker can be reset after the oven cools, but F2 will likely return if the underlying over-temperature cause is not fixed. Do not reset and continue cooking without investigating.
When to stop immediately?
Stop if you notice: You see smoke or flames inside the oven cavity, The oven continues heating after you turn off the controls.
Symptoms You May Notice
Oven shuts down while cooking
The oven cuts out abruptly during baking or broiling, displaying F2, often after the oven feels hotter than normal.
Food burns or chars unexpectedly
Baked goods or roasts are charred on the outside before the set cook time is finished, suggesting runaway oven temperature.
F2 appears during self-clean
The self-clean cycle is interrupted and the door remains locked while F2 is shown on the display.
Oven door feels excessively hot
The oven door glass or handle is abnormally hot to the touch during normal cooking, not just during self-clean.
Possible Causes
Faulty oven temperature sensor
A sensor reading artificially low causes the control to continue heating the oven well past the set temperature.
DIY PossibleRunaway heating element or relay
A bake or broil element relay on the control board has stuck closed, allowing continuous power to the heating element regardless of temperature.
Requires ProfessionalFailed electronic oven control board
The EOC board has lost the ability to regulate element cycling, allowing the oven to overheat.
Requires ProfessionalSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Power Reset and Cool Down
Turn off the circuit breaker immediately. Allow the oven to cool fully — at least 30 minutes — before restoring power.
Never open a self-clean oven door while it is still very hot; the door lock will release automatically once the oven cools below approximately 550°F.

2
Test Sensor Resistance
Unplug the range. Disconnect the oven temperature sensor and measure its resistance with a multimeter. At room temperature it should read approximately 1,080 ohms. A lower-than-expected reading can indicate a sensor that reads falsely cool, causing the oven to overheat.
A sensor reading 500 ohms or less at room temperature is definitely faulty and should be replaced.

Observe Oven Temperature at a Low Set Point
After replacing a suspect sensor and restoring power, set the oven to 350°F and use an independent oven thermometer to verify the actual temperature does not exceed 400°F.
An actual temperature significantly higher than the set temperature with a new sensor points to a control board relay fault.

When to Call a Professional
Contact a qualified technician if:
- Sensor resistance tests normal but the oven still overheats
- The oven heats continuously even after controls are turned off
- The control board or relay shows burn marks or arcing
