The moisture getting on the control panel is the cause of the codes. This is a design issue that the manufacturer never resolved. Their suggested solution is to make sure that any high moisture content items being cooked in the oven be covered, and that the oven door be only fully opened when checking items in the oven cavity, do not just crack the door open a little if checking something. Otherwise, there is no permanent fix, repair, or modification for this issue.
Thank you for your prompt response! I suspected that. I think that another solution is to bake items that produce a lot of moisture in the lower oven only. The vent for each oven is at the top of each oven and it feeds directly to the bottom of the control panel on the upper oven. That is a very poor design.
