What F1 Means

F1 is a control-board fault — the electronic control detected an internal failure or a runaway condition and shut down.

Symptoms

Common Causes

1
Failed control board (ERC)

The electronic range control has an internal fault — the most common cause of F1.

A shorted keypad can mimic a control fault.

How to Fix It
