What does Baxter E5 mean?

E5 is a yellow heating error on the Smart Touch control. The oven's manual-reset high-temperature limit has tripped, so heating is disabled as a safety measure. A bake or cook cycle can still continue, but because no heat is being applied the bake time may need to be extended.

What does Baxter E6 mean?

E6 is a yellow heating error shown only on gas ovens. The manual-reset rollout switch has tripped, which disables heat. A rollout switch trips when flames or heat escape the intended combustion path, so the control shuts heating down for safety.

What does Baxter E8 mean?

E8 is a red heating error, meaning the problem must be fixed before any heating or bake/cook cycle can continue. The control has detected a temperature sensor failure and has disabled heat. Because the oven can no longer trust its temperature reading, it will not allow heating until the sensor fault is corrected.
