Error F908 investigation. Westinghouse WVEP615 Wall OVEN. Displaying the Error Code: F908 It Looks Like, The F908 error code apparently can appear on the OVEN Display if the Upper Grill Elements inside the Oven have gone sub standard due to a Low Internal Resistance to Earth, even though the Oven was working properly the day before.

looks like High Humidity Weather events can affect the moment that the error code appears. Currently Feb/March 2026 is a High Humidity time on the East Coast Of Australia.
You would Normally expect to see an Insulation Resistance of over 20Meg ohms between the Element Conductor to Earth measured with a Multimeter, but if moisture/condensation has been absorbed into the Element the Loss between the Active and Earth can fall to under 500k Ohms, causing the OVC3000 Power Board to suddenly allow a display of the F908 error message and the Oven Can’t be Used at all.
Trying to Reset the Oven by Powering Down completely at the Circuit Breaker may work dependent on how much moisture is in the Element at that particular time. In my case the Fault disappeared when the Oven was completely removed from the Wall Cabinet and put on Test on a Sunny Verandah. The Insulation Resistance on the Faulty Oven Elements measured between the Active of the Element and Earth varied dramatically from less the 130k ohms to over 15Meg ohms. Fault Testing Revealed that the Element acts like an Electrolytic Capacitor and actually showed a Capacitance value of 0.87nF and 1.71nF when faulty, -ve Multimeter Meter Lead on Earth when faulty and the Insulation Resistance is dependant on the way your Test leads are connected as the Element has become polarity sensitive. (Faulty 130k Ohms and 1.2Meg ohms)
This Particular Westinghouse oven is Using the Power Board: OVC3000 to a HEXAGON TT Display Board. This OVC3000 board is used in numerous brands of ovens as discovered in researching this error code.
The OVC3000 board is Listed on the Internet at various places for $300 - $400 so I checked mine over pretty well and decided that it wasn’t the Fault. The Error code was being raised because of something external to the board. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The F908 Display Code is Listed in an “Electrolux OVC3000 Manual” as: Description. F908 Communication alarm: If there is a problem of communication between OUI and OC after 10 attempts to connect the message of alarm appears. If Communication is ok again the failure is automatically reset. F908 is only shown if oven is switches on . ????????????? (What is this saying, ELECTROLUX ???)
TROUBLESHOOTING. (1) Wiring connection between user interface (OUI) and the power board (OC) (2) Wiring connection between Sidekick connector and Power board (OC) (*) (3) User Interface (OUI) fault. (4) Power board (OC) fault. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Testing Results. 0.9nF + 1.6nF at 09:37am 0.4Meg ohm + 80kohm at 09:37am
0.89nF + 1.9nF at 12:06pm 0.6Meg ohm + 89kohm at 12:06pm
0.89nF + 1.64nF at 2pm 32Deg C Outside Temp 49% Humidity 1.14Meg ohm + (30k ohm – 350k ohm Varying to 0.5Meg Ohms) at 2pm, 32Deg C Outside Temp, 49% Humidity.
Final Result, NEW ELEMENTS Required but I ended up replacing the OVEN completely because of it’s age 10years old.
hopeless – this oven is absolutely rubbish the door locks it’s self for no reason the worst oven in history will never buy another from you people again
Worked mostly ok, but has recently developed a problem – The door won't close fully - remains slightly ajar causing heat to escape and the light to remain on. Can temporarily be cured by open and closing forcefully, but problem ultimately remains. There is no obvious adjustment mechanism on the hinges to correct for this. Haven't tried the self cleaning mode mode yet. Temperature seems to run a bit… Read more
lower than indicated as well.
Update 4/4/21- Replaced the hinges - they seem to have been redesigned, so this is possibly a known problem? Door stays shut now. Placed an oven thermometer in and the temperature is lower than indicated most of the time, so adjust accordingly.
Love this oven – We did a lot of research before deciding on the Westinghouse WVEP615S. We wanted two 600mm ovens with plenty of internal capacity and flexibility. We were not disappointed. Food is cooked beautifully! It has 10 settings that allows you to get excellent results. We love the pizza setting and rapid heat. I have used the pyrolitic setting once… Read more · 1
so far. You do have to make sure that ALL the shelf racks are removed and ALWAYS wipe down the interior of the glass door and any large greasy spills BEFORE commencing. I didn’t and found that the grease on the glass got burnt on. It took ages to get that off! I now wipe the glass after every use..easy. Ventilate the room too as you can get some smells during the cleaning process. The control panel is very user friendly and the timer easy to use. Overall we are very happy.
Brand new – This oven has only been installed, in an oven tower, a few weeks ago. All part of extensive renovations. Honestly, so far I have only used it twice to heat pies. I just used the 'pizza' setting. This seemed to work. I have to use it from the side because I cannot reach in from the front. The door is quite deep. I just wanted to thank others… Read more
for their reviews because it does help to know what to look out for, if I should ever take
up baking and roasting again.
We will see how I progress.
Full featured. Thermostat seems low – Typically, recipes suggest a lower cooking temperature for a fan-forced oven. We've found those temperatures too low. It may have something to do with the thermostat setting. We're not fussed. We simply continue to use regular recommended temperatures. Other than that, it cooks very evenly throughout the oven. We can cook bread rolls on all three racks at the same time, no problem Show details
Great product – Updated our oven after 15 years and great product great options and so easy to use. Done more cooking baking and cooks great and evenly. Easy clean options. Worth the extra money and as other say can't fault the product. Old name still going great guns. Get on it. Wouldn't buy anything else. Has all features you need without being over the top.
