i have a kenmore oven that keeps shutting off while cooking whenever it does this it shows a f-2 error code.what does this mean,and can i fix it myself.

This is what the F2 error code means:
1. Look for welded relay contacts on bake or broil relays. If this happens, replace oven control (also called clock or ERC).
2. For SELF CLEAN models: check door lock operation.
3. Look for a high resistance connection or any other cause of high resistance in the oven temperature sensor circuit. Check sensor, sensor harness and sensor harness connection at sensor and oven control. Replace sensor if found defective.

Remember: Oven control (ERC) measures resistance of sensor circuit, not actual oven temperature.

I would replace the sensor first, if it were me. This is one of those codes that is as clear as mud!! It could be either. The way I look at it is, if you like the oven, and you would Spring for the board, I would replace the sensor first, it is a 50-50 shot. The sensor is the thin rod mounted in the back of the oven held in by 2 screws. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
