GE Microwave F4 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code F4
Appliance Microwave

F4 explained

GE reports F4 when the humidity sensor circuit is open. All of its microwave ovens carry this code in the list.

What the manufacturer asks of owners

Because the code comes from the electronic control, the support article directs you to a trained service technician for diagnosis and correction.

Codes to compare

  • F5: the humidity sensor shorted rather than open
  • F1: an open thermal sensor
  • F2: a shorted thermal sensor

Service for GE microwaves in the Bay Area

Customers in San Francisco can ring (415) 729-2045 to talk about an F4. Quote the code and the model number when you call. Visit microwave repair for background.

Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so F4 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 this code means

F4 indicates an open humidity sensor.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
