Safety Warning

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing internal components.
- Power cycle: Shut off power for 5–10 minutes, then restore. Observe if F1E1 reappears.
- Model verification: Confirm the control board part number matches your exact KitchenAid model and revision. A wrong board can trigger configuration errors.
- Check connectors: Remove the control panel and verify all harnesses to the control board are fully seated and not reversed.
Resolution: If F1E1 returns after reset and wiring checks, the control board's memory is likely damaged. Replace the electronic oven control board with the correct OEM part.
