Both are published by the manufacturer, both are decoded here, and which alphabet is on your display tells us roughly how old the appliance is before we ask. ### What actually goes wrong - **The temperature.** A sensor reading long, an element open, or a relay that is not carrying what it was asked to. The code names the circuit, which is the useful part. - **The door lock.** After a self-clean, and it is the one error worth same-day attention. - **The cooling fan.** It is what keeps the boards behind the fascia alive, so a fan code is worth acting on while the oven still bakes normally. - **The touch panel.** Wet cloth, hot lid on the fascia, or the panel calibrating at power-up to something resting on it. - **The steam side.** Scale, the tank, the fill and drain path, the vent valve gumming with grease. Ninety-four codes on this site belong to that machine alone. - **The warming drawer.** A door switch that the drawer is not closing onto, an element the control asked for and did not see, or a cavity that has climbed past 250°F and shut itself down. Five published conditions, all of them here. ### Built in, and built into the joinery Every one of these was trimmed into a cabinet run rather than delivered to a room. Getting to the back of it is a real part of the appointment, and on a double oven in a tall housing it is most of it. That is planned before the visit rather than discovered on arrival. ### What to have ready The series — M, E or L — the code on the display, and which cavity on a double.
