oven error message

[lisettelovebug]

I was just wondering if anyone knows what F2 on a natural gas oven means? It usually happens after the oven is on for a while. We don't have a book because we rent and I'm sure the landlord would not have kept it. I believe it is a HotPOint stove. I do a lot of baking and it is just a pain to have to turn the oven off for 10-15 minutes (this is the only thing that makes the beeping stop.. lol) So if anyone has any clue what it might be, please help...

F2 means "Oven temperature exceeds 590 degrees with door unlocked". It could be something as simple as a broken sensor, which is easy to fix.
