Kenmore High-Temperature Mode Protection Fault

F7 error appears when trying to start high-temperature programs like sauté or sear.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Overheated heating plate, Faulty high-temp sensor, Poor contact between pot and plate

Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool completely.

Clean contact surfaces: Remove the pot and clean both the pot bottom and heating plate.
Check pot flatness: Replace the pot if it is warped and not making full contact.
Test lower-temp mode: Try a lower-temperature program. If F7 appears even then, the sensor may be faulty.

Replace the high-temperature sensor or heating plate assembly if the error persists.
