GE JTP15 Electric Single Oven - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I had this code come up on a double wall oven once and I fixed it myself for $200 less by ordering the part and using Repair Clinic.com for step-by-step instructions. It still cost me $100 + for the part and $65 for a serviceperson to tell me what I already knew (the code was F7) and it seemed confusing at first but I did it! Make sure to turn the electric off first from the fuse box!

I ordered a new control board and it did not fix my issue, I found that my ribbon cable is touching one of the boxes and getting hot, when I bend it away from the board, my button works, I used electrical tape to keep it from touching. It could be just a bad ribbon cable instead which costs about 25.00 , you have to know the exact number of pins your unit will need

Based on you description, fail codes, you've got a temperature sensor failure and or a loose connection in your sensor harness.

It may be possible that the electronic control is bad. On some models there are three relays one for the bake and one for the broil and one for the common. This one goes out and the bake and broil will not work. The control is fairly expensive you may want to have a tech check it out.

Hi

F2 Error indicates a loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the oven temp. sensor itself is bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue test the oven temp. sensor, it should read between 1080-1120 ohms, if the rating is more then that and the door appears to be closing fine then it is the control board that is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance. Daniel

Hello,

When checking the sensor it shouls be checked at room temp (even if power off) at it should be between 1060-1100 ohms at room tempature. 16 ohms the new sensor is shorted the F2/F3/F4 all relate a faided sensor and the F5 error code says the clock (electronic oven control) is defective.

Test the sensor again at room temp...if only 16ohms its no good and will throw the F4 code everytime again a good sensor measured at room temp should be between 1060-1100 ohms

Correct, it is recommended to replace the control panel completely. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Hi.

F2 is displayed when the ERC (the control board) detects a sensor impedance corresponding to temperature above 615F-630F. This may happen either because sensor is open as it has blown, because wiring from sensor to ERC is broken, or because ERC is defective. Before replacing the ERC check the wiring from temperature sensor. The test is done using a multimeter set on impedance. Disconnect power first, touch with one of the multimeter probes one of the sensor contacts, find which of the contacts on ERC shows continuity (low impedance- not open or infinity) between sensor contact and contact at board. Test also the thermostats(the temp.sensors) just to know if any of them is bad (including the old one). A good thermostat for this oven will read about 1080 Ohms at room, at 800 degrees it will read about 2600 Ohms (test it only at room temperature). Go for the ERC if wiring and thermostat are OK. Before replacing the ERC test also wiring to element in the same way you did with temperature sensor wiring. Test also the elements, just in case. They must be from 30 to 80 Ohms.

Try unpluging the oven for about 5 minutes and then plug it back in. It should reset itself.

I have had that problem once.I turned off the breaker to that oven over night and then in the morning the door opened as it should.I found a GE page that is below.It may help.

Some models with oven Set and Temperature knobs must have those knobs set in the Clean position before the latch can be moved to the left. If your door won't unlock, try turning those knobs back to Clean, then slide the latch over.

F2
During

BAKE Control senses oven
temperature above 615F-630F If actual over temperature condition occurred: Look for
welded relay contacts on bake or broil relays. If this happens, replace oven
control (also called clock or ERC).

If no over temperature condition
occurred: Look for a high resistance connection or any other cause of high
resistance in the oven temperature sensor circuit. Check sensor, sensor harness
and sensor harness connection at sensor and oven control. Replace sensor if
found defective.

Remember: Oven control (ERC) measures resistance
of sensor circuit , not actual oven temperature. F2
During
CLEAN Control senses oven temperature above 915F-930F
If actual over temperature condition occurred:
Look for welded relay contacts. If this happens, replace oven control (also
called clock or ERC).

If no over temperature condition occurred:
Look for a high resistance connection or any other cause of high resistance in
the oven temperature sensor circuit. Check sensor, sensor harness and sensor
harness connection at sensor and oven control. Replace sensor if found
defective. Check door lock switches.

Remember: Oven control (ERC)
measures resistance of sensor circuit , not actual oven
temperature.

F1
touch pad / ERC test This simple test will help determine
whether the ERC (Electronic Range Control or Clock) or the touch pad is
defective when F1 error code is present.

Note: Some models
incorporate the touch pad in to the ERC as a single assembly, in which case this
test is not necessary. Simply replace the ERC (Clock).

Warning: If
you feel in any way uncomfortable performing this test or making this repair,
please contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

1. Disconnect
power to the range (unplug the range power cord or turn the power off to the
range at the circuit breaker). It is very important that the power to the range
has been disconnected, so please double check before continuing.
2. Gain
access inside the control panel.
3. Disconnect the touch pad (also called
keypad or membrane switch) ribbon from the ERC.
4. Make sure there are no
lose wires, or anything else that may cause a short when power is turned back
on. Assemble the control panel back the way it was.
5. Turn the power back
on.
6. Wait for at least one hour to see if the F1 code comes back (usually
accompanied by a beeping sound).
7. If F1 comes back, replace the ERC. If it
does not, replace the touch pad.

This indicates an open/shorted oven temperature sensor and to solve this problem the sensor needs replacement. If you wan to be sure before replacing the sensor then you can test it with a voltmeter for around 1100ohms....if it reads more then this then it needs replacement however, if the reading is around or less then 1100ohms then it is the control board that needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

F0
Stuck touch pad Usually means that either the touch pad or the oven control
(also called clock or ERC) is defective and needs to be replaced. If this fault
code cannot be cancelled, replace the oven control (also called clock or ERC),
touch pad, or both.

F3 error indicates an open/shorted oven temperature sensor and to solve this problem the sensor needs replacement. If you wan to be sure before replacing the sensor then you can test it with a voltmeter for around 1100ohms....if it reads more then this then it needs replacement however, if the reading is around or less then 1100ohms then it is the control board that needs replacement.

I replaced my GE oven sensor after getting F5 alarms .it worked fine for a few weeks now I get random F2, F3, F5alarms.

Hi
You can start the self cleaning cycle again and then stop it after 15 minutes, then let the oven cool for sometime and check if the door opens again, if it wont work then press the CANCEL button for 20 seconds. If the issue returns then you have to take a screw driver and open the latch. After this the latch mechanism should be replaced as it is bad. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
