F2 Error on Teka Ovens

What the F2 means when it appears on a Teka oven

The F2 error usually corresponds to a situation known as a “multiple-sensor error” on the touch control: the system interprets that more than two sensors are being activated at the same time. When that happens, the electronics go into protection because it can’t distinguish real taps from a “continuous” activation caused by something external.

The most common triggers are very specific:

• Any object touching or pressing the control area (lid, tray, cloth, utensil, etc.)
• Water or a spill covering part of the touch panel
• Cleaning residue leaving a film that “tricks” the sensor
• Steam or heat reaching the control (sometimes rising from the oven below)

In short: F2 is usually not a “cooking fault”, but a control lockout triggered by multiple sensor activation that prevents safe operation.

How to clear F2 and what to check so it doesn’t come back

To fix F2, the goal is simple: leave the touch control “clean and dry”, eliminate any accidental pressure, and, if needed, perform a quick reset.

1. Remove anything that could be touching the panel
   • Take away cloths, lids, trays, or utensils resting near the control
   • Make sure no handle or edge is overlapping the touch area
2. Dry the surface with a dry cloth (don’t keep applying products)
   • Wipe away water, condensation, or spills
   • If you just cleaned it, go over it with a clean cloth and leave the panel completely dry

   When F2 is caused by moisture or a film, this step is usually what clears it.

3. Let the heat drop and avoid direct steam
   • If the oven has been running hot, wait a few minutes with the front not exposed to steam
   • Improve extraction/ventilation so heat doesn’t build up inside the cabinet
4. Do a short reset if the code doesn’t disappear
   • Disconnect power (fuse/breaker) for 10 seconds
   • Reconnect and test without resting anything on the control
5. If F2 repeats often, check the typical scenario
   • It appears right when using the oven: it’s usually heat/steam affecting the control
   • It appears after cleaning: it’s usually residual moisture or a product leaving a film
   • It appears with no clear cause: there may be panel sensitivity or a module issue
6. When it makes sense to call a technician
   • F2 appears with the panel dry, with no objects nearby, and keeps coming back
   • The touch control responds poorly or detects “phantom” touches
   • The problem worsens and repeatedly blocks use

   In those cases, the touch control and its connections are checked, and whether the assembly is receiving abnormal heat/steam due to the installation.

If F2 was caused by moisture, objects, or steam, it’s normally resolved by cleaning and drying thoroughly, letting it cool down, and resetting. If it becomes a routine issue, the key is to correct the source (steam/heat/installation) so the control doesn’t detect multiple activation again
