What this code means

The oven control and touch panel are not communicating normally, or the touch signal is not being received.

Most likely causes

  • A loose or damaged ribbon cable
  • A failed touch panel or display module
  • A failed oven control board
  • Heat or moisture damage in the control area

Safe checks for the owner

  1. Disconnect power for several minutes and retry once.
  2. Do not continue if the panel activates commands by itself.
  3. Request service if the error returns or the panel remains unresponsive.

Estimated U.S. repair cost

$300–$650, depending on model, access, parts availability and local labor.
