What the F013 error code actually means

Your GE range is having trouble saving important settings and data to its control board's memory, and the board detected that the save did not work correctly. This is an internal electronics problem, not something caused by how the range is being used. Unplugging the range for 30 seconds and plugging it back in may clear the error, but if it comes back, the control board will need to be replaced.

Questions people ask about F013

What does F013 mean on a GE range?
F013 on a GE range means that data written to the non-volatile memory on the oven user interface board has failed its verification check. The board writes operational and settings data to internal memory, and when it cannot confirm that the data was stored correctly, it triggers this fault code. It points directly to a problem with the user interface board's memory function.
Is it safe to use my GE range while the F013 code is active?
An active F013 fault means the control board is not operating reliably, and using the range in this condition is not recommended. The board may not store or execute settings correctly, which could result in unpredictable behavior from the oven controls. It is best to resolve the fault before resuming normal use.
What part needs to be replaced to fix the F013 error on a GE range?
If the power reset does not clear the fault, the oven user interface board requires replacement. This board contains the non-volatile memory that is failing the write verification check. No other component is identified as the source of this specific fault code.
Will resetting my GE range clear the F013 error?
A power reset is the first step and may resolve the fault if it was caused by a one-time voltage disruption. To reset, disconnect power to the range, wait 30 seconds, and restore power. If the F013 code comes back immediately after power is restored, the non-volatile memory has a persistent failure and a reset will not provide a lasting fix.
How much does it cost to fix a GE range F013 error?
If the fault requires replacing the oven user interface board, parts typically range from around $100 to $300 or more depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs can range from approximately $150 to $450. Performing a DIY power reset first costs nothing and should always be attempted before purchasing parts.
