What this code means
The user interface and appliance manager disagree about the oven’s operating state. The modules may be communicating, but their status information is inconsistent.
Most likely causes
- A temporary software or power interruption
- A weak or intermittent communication connection
- A failed user interface
- A failed appliance manager
- Incorrect module configuration after a prior repair
Safe checks for the owner
- Disconnect power at the breaker for five minutes and retry once.
- Record what the display showed and what the oven was doing when the code appeared.
- Do not continue if the oven starts, heats or locks unexpectedly.
Estimated U.S. repair cost
$180–$420, depending on model, access, parts availability and local labor.
