GE Oven Error Code ERR

ERR on a GE oven means a temperature was entered that falls outside the allowable operating range of 170°F to 550°F. The control board rejects any setpoint below or above those limits and displays ERR to alert you. This is an input validation code, not a sign of a broken component. Clearing the entry and selecting a temperature within the accepted range will resolve it.

Yes, the ERR code does not indicate a safety hazard. The oven is simply declining to accept a temperature input that is outside its design limits. The oven will not heat until a valid temperature is entered, so there is no risk of overheating or malfunction from this code alone.

If a stuck or failed membrane keypad is causing repeated ERR codes, replacement keypad parts typically range from $30 to $100 depending on the model. If professional labor is involved, total repair costs including parts and service time generally fall in the range of $100 to $250. Control board replacement, if needed, tends to cost more and would be evaluated after ruling out the keypad as the cause.

Press the Cancel or Clear button to dismiss the error, then re-enter your desired temperature making sure it falls between 170°F and 550°F. If the error returns without any unusual input from you, inspect the keypad for stuck or unresponsive buttons. A sticking key can cause unintended temperature values to be sent to the control board.

Pressing Cancel or Clear on the control panel will clear the ERR code. A full power reset by unplugging the oven or turning off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds can also clear it. However, if a stuck keypad key is causing the error, the code will reappear until the underlying input problem is addressed.
