What F155 means on a GE range

The F155 error code on a GE range indicates that the cook profile stored in the EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read-Only Memory) has become corrupted. The EPROM is a non-volatile memory chip located on the electronic control board that stores critical operational data, including cooking profiles, calibration settings, and user preferences. When the control board's self-diagnostic routine detects that this stored data has become invalid or unreadable, it triggers the F155 fault to alert the user and technician that the memory contents can no longer be trusted for accurate operation.

Corruption of EPROM data can occur for several reasons. Power surges or voltage spikes are among the most common culprits, as a sudden change in supply voltage can write erroneous data to memory cells or damage them outright. Extended power interruptions followed by restoration can also cause write errors during the moment power returns. In some cases, the EPROM chip itself degrades over time, particularly in environments with high heat exposure, which is inherent in range appliances.

Because the cook profile data governs how the control board manages cooking cycles and temperature regulation, a corrupted EPROM means the range cannot reliably execute baking or broiling functions. The entire electronic control board typically needs to be replaced when this fault is confirmed, as the EPROM is integrated into the board and is not separately serviceable in the field. Before replacing the board, a technician should attempt a hard reset by disconnecting power to the unit for several minutes to rule out a transient fault.

Common causes of F155

  1. 01

    Power surge or voltage spike

    Part replacement

    A sudden surge in household voltage can corrupt data stored on the EPROM chip. Check whether the error appeared after a storm, power outage, or utility event in your area.

  2. 02

    Failed or degraded electronic control board

    Part replacement

    The EPROM is integrated into the main control board, and age or heat exposure can cause the memory cells to fail permanently. This is the most common hardware reason for this fault on older units.

  3. 03

    Power interruption during a write cycle

    Wiring / connection

    If power was cut to the range while the board was actively saving data, the EPROM write process could have been interrupted and left the memory in a corrupted state.

  4. 04

    Transient electronic fault

    Wiring / connection

    Occasionally, a temporary glitch in the control board's logic can trigger a false F155 code. Disconnecting power to the range for 5 to 10 minutes and restoring it can clear this type of fault if the EPROM itself is undamaged.

Frequently asked questions about F155

What does F155 mean on a GE range?
F155 on a GE range means the cook profile data stored in the EPROM memory chip on the electronic control board has become corrupted. The control board runs a self-check and flags this code when it cannot read valid cooking profile data. The range will not operate reliably until the issue is resolved. In most cases, this fault requires replacing the electronic control board.
Will resetting the GE range clear the F155 error?
A hard reset, performed by disconnecting the range from power for 5 to 10 minutes, can sometimes clear the F155 code if the corruption was caused by a temporary electronic glitch. However, if the EPROM memory itself has been physically damaged or permanently corrupted, the code will return after the reset. A reset is always a worthwhile first step before pursuing parts replacement.
How do I fix the F155 error on my GE range?
Start by performing a hard reset: disconnect the range from power for at least 5 minutes, then restore power and check whether the code returns. If F155 comes back, the electronic control board will need to be replaced, as the EPROM is integrated into the board and cannot be reprogrammed or replaced separately in the field. A qualified appliance technician can confirm the diagnosis and install the correct replacement board.
Is it safe to use my GE range while F155 is displayed?
It is not recommended to continue using the range while the F155 code is active. A corrupted cook profile means the control board cannot reliably manage cooking temperatures or cycles, which could lead to undercooked food or unpredictable oven behavior. Discontinue use until the fault is diagnosed and resolved.
How much does it cost to fix a GE range F155 error?
If the fix requires replacing the electronic control board, parts alone typically range from around $150 to $350 or more depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor, the total repair cost can range from roughly $250 to $500 or higher. If the error clears with a simple power reset and does not return, there may be no parts cost at all.
