Kenmore EEPROM / Memory Error

F9 error appears and unit may not power on fully or may reset.

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

Corrupted firmware, Failed memory chip on control board, Voltage spike damage

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before any inspection.

Power reset: Unplug for 15 minutes, then plug back in and test.
Surge protection: Connect the cooker to a surge-protected outlet to prevent further damage.

If F9 persists, the main control board must be replaced, as firmware is typically not field-reflashable on consumer units.
