What this code means

The code points to a cooling fan speed that is too high, possibly an airflow restriction, the oven cooling fan, or the associated wiring.
The first move is resetting power: switch off the breaker and leave it for one minute, then switch the breaker on. Watch the oven for one minute to see that 4D42 does not return, and confirm that the oven runs properly.
