What this code means
The oven sees a key or touch input that remains active longer than expected, usually because the key is physically stuck or the keypad circuit is shorted.
Most likely causes
- Food, moisture or cleaning residue on the control surface
- A physically jammed button
- A shorted touch membrane or glass interface
- A damaged ribbon cable or failed user-interface board
Safe checks for the owner
- Turn the oven off and let the control panel cool.
- Wipe the exterior panel with a barely damp cloth, then dry it completely.
- Press and release each key gently. Do not continue using the oven if it selects functions by itself.
Estimated U.S. repair cost
$150–$280, depending on model, access, parts availability and local labor.
