F101 on the Fisher & Paykel convection and microwave combi oven is a power board entry.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F101 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
F101 is listed by Fisher & Paykel as a power board fault on the convection and microwave combi oven.
The listing
In the fault table for the convection plus microwave combi oven, F101 carries just two words: “Power board”. No further explanation is given, only a short restart routine and a firm instruction for when that fails.
Restart procedure
Wait for the oven to cool fully and the cooling fan to stop.
Disconnect the oven at the power supply.
Leave it for a whole minute and reconnect.
Read the display. When F101 has gone, use the oven as normal.
The fan’s job is to lower the temperature, so cool first and cut power afterwards.
When the code returns
Fisher & Paykel instructs you to book a service call. The power board is an electronic part inside that manages the oven’s electrical supply, and since a combi oven also holds a microwave section, it is not a panel to open at home.
Beware of lookalikes
The OB60 wall ovens use a different F1 series, described as a clock board fault, so the same number appears elsewhere with another meaning. Be sure which oven you own: F101 as described here applies to the convection plus microwave combi oven only. Wall oven owners should read about F1XX.
Phone (310) 872-1939 and quote F101 with the model number of the oven. Let us know the one-minute power restart has already been tried. Details of combi and steam oven repair are on our service page.
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.
