Hotpoint oven error codes
Hotpoint ovens show an F-code on the display when the electronics detect a fault with a sensor, the door lock or the control board. Find your code below for what it means and safe checks.
| Code | Meaning | Severity | First action |
|---|---|---|---|
| F01 | Door lock fault | Often fixable at home | The door lock has failed or the door is not fully closed, so the oven will not start a program. |
| F02 | NTC sensor fault | Engineer usually needed | The oven temperature sensor (NTC) is faulty or disconnected, so the electronics cannot read cavity temperature and heating stops. |
| F04 | Control board fault | Often fixable at home | The main control board has detected an internal fault — often after a power surge. |
Safety first
Unplug before any check. Never open panels beyond the filter flap. Anything involving internal wiring, the heater or gas must go to a professional — see each code page for its "call a professional when" line.
