What this code means
Cooling Fan Speed Too Low – Fan speed below 500 rpm, either because the fan is spinning too slowly or because there is a problem with the Hall Effect sensor.
First step from the service manual
Unplug range or disconnect power. Pull the range forward and remove the top access cover. Verify there are no obstructions in the blower.
Next steps: diagnose the root cause
1
Verify the error code is active
Power cycle the unit and see if the code returns. If it does, the fault is persistent and requires diagnosis.
2
