DCS over F7 error beeping

Error F7 means that the keypad is shorted or stuck and to resolve this issue you'll have to replace the Electronic Range control (ERC).

The code can be caused by a faulty keypad or a stuck keypad which may mean relay is turned on. Determine if problem is with the Key Panel or Control by:
a.- Pushing CLEAR/OFF pad.
b.- Disconnecting Ribbon Cable from control and waiting at least 32 seconds to see if code come on again, the problem is in the Control. Replace control to solve it. If code does not come on, problem is with the Key Panel.

Hope helps.

I wouldn't worry about it, it may have been a power outage. You already reseted the pcb so you are OK.
Good Day!!

Hi

You don't say what type of GE oven this is so I will advise the following;

On a GE range oven F7 indicates either a function pad button is stuck or the clock on the oven is malfunctioning

On the 99 Range oven F7 indicates a shorted Clear/Off Key due to membrane switch or a shorted control or connector

On the GE XL44 Self Clean Oven F7 is Stuck keypad or control relay malfunction

Hope this helps. Please remember to rate my answer. Thank you.

F7 stuck keypad
Stuck keypad may mean relay is turned on.
Determine if problem is with the Key Panel or Control by:
1. Pushing CLEAR/OFF pad.
2. Disconnecting Ribbon Cable from control and waiting at least 32 seconds to see if Code recurs

If code recurs, problem is in the control. Replace control.

If code does not recur, problem is with the Key Panel.

A function pad is probably stuck.
Push all buttons several times each. Often this will clear a stuck pad.
If that does not work replace the clock.

After much searching, I have found that you have a faulty keypad.
The recommended solution is to unplug the oven, or shut it down at the fuse box, and then remove the faceplate where you can then remove the keypad, and clean the connectors with an eraser, as well as the ribbon that connectes the keypad with the oven.
I hope this helps out.

short inthe key pad, thinks a button is being preesed for an extended period of time youll need to replace the keypad/ electronic control

It depends on the actual model number (that you didn't supply), but most Kenmore F7 errors indicate a bad keypad or bad control panel. If you unplug the ribbon cable from the keypad to the panel then plug the oven back in and it starts beeping again, it's a bad control panel, if it doesn't beep anymore, it's a bad keypad.

Please unplug the oven power with working on it.
