How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing any panels.

  • Power cycle:
    • Turn off power for 5–10 minutes, then restore.
    • If F1 returns immediately, suspect control or keypad.
  • Check for moisture:
    • If F1 appears after heavy boiling or cleaning, allow the control area to dry for several hours with power off.
  • Inspect keypad and control:
    • Remove the back cover behind the control panel.
    • Check for signs of burning, corrosion, or water damage.
    • Ensure the keypad ribbon cable is fully seated.
  • Isolate fault:
    • On models with separate keypad and control, disconnect the keypad ribbon and restore power.
    • If F1 stops, replace the keypad / touchpad.
    • If F1 continues, replace the electronic oven control (EOC).
