Quick answer
F8E2 on a Kenmore slide-in electric range with a 664 model number means the cooling fan speed is too fast.
Model compatibility
Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F8E2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What thiscode means
The cooling fan speed is too fast.
F8E2 on a Kenmore range means the cooling fan is running too fast. The code is listed for Kenmore slide-in electric ranges with model numbers starting 664.
What the code points to
The cooling fan has a hall sensor, also called a tachometer, that reports how fast the fan turns. The manual says that sensor could be defective. A defective oven control board can cause the same failure, because the board may not read the speed signal from the sensor correctly.
What the manual tells you to do
Unplug the range, or shut off the house circuit breakers for the range, so it has no electrical power.
Replace the cooling fan.
If the code keeps coming back, replace the oven control board.
If you are not comfortable working inside the range, leave the fan and board work to a technician.
Related codes
F8E0: the cooling fan speed is too slow, the other fan-speed code.
F8: a defective upper oven temperature sensor, easy to mix up because it starts the same way.
