Electrolux Oven Error Code F23

F23 means the oven's display board failed to communicate with the convection fan and oven lights control board. The fault is specifically tied to the connection between connector P2 on the display board and connector P2 on the convection fan and oven lights control board. This communication failure can be caused by damaged wiring, a loose connector, or a faulty board on either end of the circuit.

It is generally not recommended to continue using the oven while an F23 error is active. The fault affects the convection fan and oven lights control board, which means convection fan operation and oven lighting may not function correctly. Operating the oven without a functioning convection fan can result in uneven heat distribution and potential overheating in some configurations.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If the fix is simply reseating a connector or repairing a wire, costs may be limited to a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. If the convection fan and oven lights control board needs replacement, parts and labor together can range from $200 to $400 or more. Replacing the display board, if required, can add a similar or higher cost depending on parts availability.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by inspecting and reseating the wiring connectors between the two boards, which requires no parts and may clear the fault. If the wiring is undamaged and connectors are secure, the repair moves on to board replacement, which involves working with internal oven electronics. If you are not comfortable working with appliance control boards and internal wiring, it is safer to call a qualified technician.

A reset by cutting power to the oven at the breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the F23 code, but if the underlying wiring or board fault remains, the error will return. A reset is useful for confirming whether the fault is persistent, but it does not repair damaged wiring or a failed control board. A proper diagnosis is needed to resolve the issue permanently.
