Stuck or shorted Cancel/OFF key
Unplug the range for 3 minutes to reset the electronic control board and then restore power. If the code returns, replace the electronic control board.
Oven over-temperature
If the oven actually overheated, the electronic oven control board likely has a stuck relay; replace the electronic control board. If the oven is at room temperature, the oven temperature sensor could be defective. Unplug the range and measure the oven temperature sensor resistance using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn't 1100 ohms at 72 degrees F, replace the oven temperature sensor. If the resistance is correct, replace the electronic control board.
