Turn the oven off at the breaker right away and keep it off. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Should I leave my GE oven off after F2 appears? Yes. An overheat code is the one to take seriously, and GE itself suggests keeping the breaker off until a technician has been. ### Is F20 on my GE different from F2? GE lists them together with the same meaning. The display length on your model decides which one you see. --- **[Read on the site: GE wall oven showing F2 or F20 | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/ge-f2/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
