What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

There may be a problem with the Vent Fan and Light Switch (located on the lower left front side panel) or the associated wiring.

The F2H2 message tells you the microwave may have trouble with the switch for the vent fan and light, located on the lower left front side panel, or the associated wiring. This code belongs to over-the-range microwaves.

Owner steps

  1. Start by turning the breaker off for one (1) minute; unplugging the microwave works too.
  2. Restore power by switching the circuit breaker on again.
  3. Check for one (1) minute that the display does not show F2H2 a second time.
  4. Confirm the microwave works as it should.

Call a qualified technician when F2H2 refuses to clear.
