What F2
actually means.
F2, shown as F20 on some controls, means the oven temperature went beyond a preset threshold for a reason the control could not identify. An overheat is the code GE treats most cautiously.
GE range display · also shown as F20
What to do when F2 shows on the rangeKind of codeOven heating
The oven under the burners called for heat and the cavity did not warm the way the control planned. On an electric oven a bake or broil element that has burned open is the usual cause; on a gas oven the igniter and the valve it opens come first. The wiring and the relay are checked before the board takes the blame.

An electric range oven that stays cold, heats only from above or below, or will not broil, traced to the elements, their terminals or the relay that switches them.
