GE Range Error Code F141

F141 indicates that the slave microprocessor in your GE range is not functioning. GE ranges use a dual-processor control system, and when the primary processor detects that the secondary (slave) processor is unresponsive, it logs this fault. The range may be partially or fully inoperative until the issue is resolved.

It is generally not advisable to operate the range while this code is active. The slave processor is involved in core oven and safety control functions, and operating with a malfunctioning processor could result in unpredictable behavior. Disconnect power to the range until the fault is diagnosed and repaired.

Repair costs vary depending on the specific model and whether parts or labor are needed. A replacement control board for a GE range typically costs in the range of $150 to $400 for the part alone, with professional labor adding $100 to $200 or more depending on your location. Getting a diagnosis from a technician first can help determine whether repair or replacement of the appliance makes more economic sense.

Some basic checks are within reach for a knowledgeable DIYer, such as inspecting wiring harness connections and verifying the range is receiving proper power. However, if the fault points to a failed control board, replacing that component requires comfort working with appliance electronics and safely disconnecting power. If you are unsure, a qualified appliance technician is recommended.

Disconnecting the range from power for several minutes and restoring it may temporarily clear the fault code if the issue was caused by a transient power event or a one-time processor communication error. However, if the underlying cause is a failed control board or damaged wiring, the F141 code will return after the reset.
