GE Range Error Code 2 flashes every 4 seconds

This flash pattern indicates a control fault on the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module, which is the electronic board that manages gas ignition on your range. The module has detected an internal error it cannot self-correct. The fault requires either a power cycle to reset or, if the code persists, replacement of the DSI module.

A DSI module control fault means the ignition control system is not operating correctly, which can affect the range's ability to safely manage gas ignition and flame sensing. Using a gas appliance with a known ignition control fault is not recommended. The range should be taken out of service until the fault is diagnosed and resolved.

Costs will vary depending on whether the fault clears with a power cycle (no cost) or requires a DSI module replacement. DSI module parts typically range from around $50 to $200 or more depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor for diagnosis and replacement, total repair costs can range from approximately $100 to $350 or higher. Getting a quote from a certified technician before committing to the repair is advisable.

Cycling power is the first recommended step and may clear the fault if the DSI module entered an error state due to a temporary condition. Turn off the range, disconnect it from power or trip the circuit breaker, wait at least 30 seconds, and restore power. If the 2-flash code returns after the reset, the DSI module has a permanent hardware fault and will need to be replaced.

Start by cycling power to the range for at least 30 seconds to allow the DSI module to reset. If the error clears and does not return, the fault was temporary. If the 2-flash code comes back after restoring power, the DSI module needs to be replaced. This repair involves working on a gas appliance with electronic controls, so a qualified technician is recommended if you are not experienced with appliance repair.
