Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the control panel.
- Reset and dry: If the code appeared after a spill or heavy steam, turn off power and let the control area dry for several hours. Do not use the oven until fully dry.
- Inspect keypad: Remove the control panel trim and visually inspect the touchpad for cracks, bubbling, or signs of liquid damage.
- Check ribbon cable: Disconnect the keypad ribbon from the control board, clean the contacts gently with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free swab, then reconnect firmly.
- Test operation: Restore power. If F1-2 persists or certain keys do not respond, the touchpad assembly must be replaced.
- Replace touch panel: Order the correct JennAir touchpad/control panel assembly by model number. Transfer any brackets and reinstall in reverse order.
Note: Do not spray cleaners directly on the control panel; spray onto a cloth first to prevent future moisture damage.
