Before you act
Code meanings are not universal.
Cooking appliances: Do not remove appliance panels or attempt electrical, gas, or internal repairs from a code summary. Stop using the appliance and contact its manufacturer if the source says to stop or if there is smoke, unusual heat, or a gas odor.
These summaries describe the manufacturer's published explanation. They are not a remote diagnosis and do not establish that a specific component has failed.
