Hotpoint Appliance Fault Codes

By Steve Ash

Hotpoint Oven/Range/Stove Fault Codes:

Note: Depending upon the brand of appliance, there can be many different names for the 'clock' component. Electronic Range Control, ERC, Electronic Oven Control, EOC, control board, and clock all refer to the same part.

F0 - Function Key Stuck - Replace touch pad, or touch pad and control board (clock) if one assembly. Refer to Refer to F1 Test for more information.
F1 - Function Key Stuck - Replace touch pad, or touch pad and control board (clock) if one assembly. Refer to Refer to F1 Test for more information.
F2 (During Bake) - Oven Control Senses Oven Temperature Above 615F-630F - If temperature has exceeded 615F-630F, check for welded contacts on bake and broil relays. If present, replace control board (clock). If temperature has NOT exceeded 615F-630F, check sensor, sensor harness, and the sensor harness connection at sensor and oven control. If found defective, replace sensor. Also check for any causes of high resistance in the oven temperature sensor circuit.
F2 (During Clean) - Oven Control Senses Oven Temperature Above 915F-930F - If temperature has exceeded 915F-930F, check for welded contacts on the bake and broil relays. If present, replace control board (clock). If temperature has NOT exceeded 915F-930F, check sensor, sensor harness, and the sensor harness connection at sensor and oven control. If found defective, replace sensor. Also check for any causes of high resistance in the oven temperature sensor circuit.
F3 / F4 - Open or Shorted Oven Temperature Sensor (RTD) - Check sensor harness and connection between oven sensor and oven control. If wiring is ok, replace control board (clock).
F7 - Defective Touch Pad or Control Board - Replace touch pad, control board (clock), or both if one assembly. Refer to F1 Test for more information.
F9 - Door Lock Switch - Check door lock switches and wiring.
