Instructions

- 1
  Disconnect power to the oven by unplugging the electrical cord from the outlet for 30 seconds. Plug the electrical cord back in after 30 seconds and attempt to repeat the same function that caused the F13 code. If the code reappears, you must replace the EOC.
- 2
  Unplug the oven from its electrical outlet and slide it away from the wall.
- 3
  Remove the screws that hold the back silver cover onto the rear of the control panel with a Phillips head screwdriver. This exposes the wiring and the EOC.

  Mark each wiring harness and the location where they plug into the back of the EOC. Most harnesses have a plug that will only fit into one port on the back of the EOC. However, labeling the harnesses will make it easier for you to reinstall them onto the new EOC.
