F193 and F198 are both listed as board initiation errors on the combi oven.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F193 / F198 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
F193 and F198 are listed by Fisher & Paykel as board initiation errors on the convection and microwave combi oven.
The table entry
The combi oven table gives F193 and F198 a single line of explanation between them: board initiation error. That wording belongs to the manufacturer, and the table does not elaborate on it.
Steps from the manufacturer’s table
Wait until the oven has cooled completely and the fan has turned itself off.
Switch the power off at the supply and keep it off for a minute.
Switch back on.
If either code is still shown, book a service call.
Owner inspection
None. The oven combines convection with a microwave section, and the manufacturer provides no checks for owners, so do not look inside.
In the table, F193 and F198 get the same routine: let the oven cool, wait for the fan to stop, switch the power off for one minute, restart, and book a service call if the code comes back. No part is named apart from the board, and nothing in the table sets one code apart from the other in meaning or in remedy.
Are the two codes the same?
Description and advice are identical for both. How they differ is not stated.
Purpose of the restart
Fisher & Paykel’s advice is to restart and then book service if the code comes back. The oven should always cool first.
Position in the table
Close to this pair are the communication errors (the F102 family) and F199, which is a board configuration error. Each is a separate entry, so mention each code separately to a technician.
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.
