Troubleshoot Magic Chief Stove Error Codes
Magic Chef brand stoves marketed for residential use have electronic controls that monitor the functions of the stove. If the controls detect an error in key components in the stove, an error code will be displayed on the control panel. The key components are the touchpad, the electronic range control, or ERC (also referred to as the clock), the oven temperature sensor and the door latch. Note the error code displayed, then replace or inspect the component identified by that code.
Instructions
1. Press "Off/Cancel" (or "Cancel/Off" depending on your model) to clear the error code. Note the code if it reappears.
2. Replace the touchpad if the code displayed is "F0," "F7" or "F10." A function key is stuck or shorted.
3. Replace the touchpad or the clock (ERC) if the code "F1" is displayed. Disconnect the ribbon connector to the touchpad. If no code is displayed after an hour, replace the touchpad. If the code displays again, replace the clock.
4. Replace the oven temperature sensor if "F2," "F3" or "F4" is displayed. "F2" indicates the oven temperature is too hot and the oven temperature sensor is suspect. "F3" or "F4" indicates the oven temperature sensor or shorted or open.
5. Replace the ERC if "F5," F6" or "F8" is displayed. The ERC is the main control unit. "F5," F6" and "F8 are codes that indicate problems in the ERC functions.
6. Inspect the door-lock assembly and circuit if "F9" is displayed. The door must lock when the oven is in use. If the lock mechanism is not functioning or if the detection circuit is malfunctioning, the stove will display "F9."
