Magic Chef Oven Error Code F2
Last updated:
The oven temperature has run past a safe limit.
What F2 means.
F2 on a Magic Chef oven means the control read an oven temperature higher than it expects. During bake or broil it usually points at a sensor reading too low, which makes the board overdrive the element. A stuck bake relay can also push the cavity past the F2 limit. This code is treated as a runaway-heat fault.
Most common causes.
-
Failed oven temperature sensor reading out of range
-
Stuck bake or broil relay on the control board
-
Wiring fault between the sensor and the board
-
Self-clean cycle that ran too hot
Do not attempt this one yourself.
Error code F2 on a Magic Chef oven points to a sealed-system or high-voltage fault. The work involves refrigerant under pressure or a live high-voltage circuit, plus the specialized vacuum and recovery tools needed to handle it safely. Attempting it yourself can release refrigerant, damage the compressor permanently, or cause electrical injury. This is not a safe DIY repair.

Ivan is the only repairman I would ever trust with our appliances! We have used him 3 times (for our dryer, our dishwasher, and most recently our oven). We called him when our oven unexpectedly stopped working and he got us scheduled right away and had it fixed immediately! He is prompt, incredibly knowledgable, very friendly, reasonably priced, and honest! Look no further if you have any appliance repair needs! Thank you again Ivan!! - Kate

Our ice maker in our GE Profile refrigerator stopped working. We contacted several vendors through Yelp and Esquire was quick to respond and were able to come out the next day. Our ice maker was back up and running right away! They were able to buy the proper part and install it all in one day. They were courteous and reasonably priced. I couldn't be more pleased with how it went.
