Kelvinator – Error Code F2

Is your Kelvinator oven showing up with Error code F2 on the screen?

What is a Kelvinator Oven Error Code F2?

The Error Code F2 on your Kelvinator oven indicates that the oven has become too hot. This can be due to a malfunctioning oven temperature sensor, which is supposed to monitor and control the heat inside your oven. When this sensor isn’t working correctly, it can cause the oven to overheat, leading to the F2 error.

Recommended solution/fix steps

To fix this issue, follow these simple steps:

1. Turn off the Power: Before doing anything, ensure your oven is turned off and unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards.
2. Locate the Temperature Sensor: Refer to your oven’s manual to find the temperature sensor’s location. It’s usually found inside the oven cavity, near the top.
3. Remove the Old Sensor: Unscrew or unclip the old temperature sensor from its position. You might need a screwdriver for this step.
4. Disconnect the Sensor: Gently pull the sensor out and disconnect any wires attached to it. Be careful not to tug too hard on the wires.
5. Connect the New Sensor: Take your new temperature sensor and connect it to the wires you just disconnected. Ensure the connections are secure.
6. Install the New Sensor: Place the new sensor back into its position and secure it with screws or clips.
7. Test the Oven: Plug your oven back in, turn it on, and test it to see if the error has been resolved.

Make sure to follow all safety instructions and consider consulting a professional if you’re unsure about any steps.

Typically, this procedure will be:

1. Turn the range or oven off at the circuit breaker
2. Wait 60 seconds
3. Turn the range or oven back on at the circuit breaker
4. This will restart the oven and help clear any issues.

Kelvinator Maintenance

Cleaning your oven doesn’t have to be a huge chore anymore because your oven may come with a self-clean function to handle all of the heavy work. Some models also come with other cleaning modes as well, such as Steam Cleaning or Descaling. After that, all that’s left is to clean the racks and the exterior and give it all a good wipe down.

Note: Do not use stainless steel cleaners on the outer glass panels of your oven because it could make the glass appear smeared. Instead, clean the glass using a glass cleaner or soapy water, and then rinse and dry the glass thoroughly.

Over time, the exterior of your range can get smudged with fingerprints or dirty from food spills. You should clean it every once in a while to keep it looking brand new.

1. Before cleaning the outside of the oven, make sure the oven is off and has cooled down.
2. Apply a small amount of approved stainless steel cleaner or white vinegar to a cloth or paper towel.
3. Clean only the areas made from stainless steel. Scrub one small area at a time, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel.
4. When you’re finished, dry the surface using a soft, dry cloth. Repeat the process as many times as necessary.

Make sure the gasket does not get wet and do not allow moisture into the cracks in the door because it may get between the glass panes.

Depending on what you cook, the oven racks inside the oven can get dirty as well. Clean them regularly to keep them in tip-top condition.

1. Make sure the oven is off and the racks are cool before you remove them from the oven.
2. Soak the racks in lukewarm, soapy water, and then scrub impurities from the racks using a non-abrasive scouring pad.
3. If the racks do not slide in and out smoothly after you have cleaned them, apply a few drops of cooking oil onto wax paper or cloth. Then, rub the side rail guides to help the racks glide with ease.

You will need a few things to clean between the glass panes. First, you’ll need something long, thin, and preferably flexible, like a yardstick or a clothes hanger. Next, wrap it in a cleaning cloth, and use tape or rubber bands to make sure the cloth cannot come loose. You can also invest in an oven-cleaning tool.

You’ll also need an oven cleaner. You can buy something specific for this purpose, or simply mix baking soda and water to create a paste that’s great for removing greasy food residue. Apply the paste, and then wipe it off using white vinegar, which reacts with the baking soda to help it dissolve.

1. Remove the oven door using the instructions in your model’s user manual.
2. Look at the bottom of the door and find the gaps and grooves there. These give access to the space between the glass panes. Use your cleaning tool and cleaner to get inside and swipe around.
3. Some cleaners (like the baking soda and water mixture) work best when allowed to sit for a bit before you clean them away.
4. Wipe up any remaining cleaner. Then, make sure everything is nice and dry.
5. Put the door back on your oven by reversing the steps you used to remove it.
