First, clear the error by unplugging the range (or turning off the circuit breaker) for 15-30 minutes. For ranges manufactured by GE, the F8 code indicates that the incorrect voltage is being seen at the electronic oven control board (EOC or clock). If the error after cycling the power, you need to replace the electronic control board. For Maytag ranges, the F8 indicates a problem with the electronic relay board. Again the part has to be replaced if the error persists.
Please add a comment with the model number of the range for information on the part number and pricing for the control board, if it is available. I hope this helps.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...
FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.
PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.
If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.
Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.
If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa
This indicates a open/shorted oven temperature sensor and to solve this problem the sensor needs replacement. If you wan to be sure before replacing the sensor then you can test it with a voltmeter for around 1100ohms....if it reads more then this then it needs replacement however, if the reading is around or less then 1100ohms then it is the control board that needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

If power surge look for the resistance or the main board.
You didn't post model, but with a surge you probably looking at replacing the ERC. Does the manual say to unplug to reset, or check again on reset the control.
Some have this for reset, can't hurt to try.
This way actually resets for a error also besides temp.
You can check the price of a control here,
