F1 code on my Oven

Question edited for clarity.

One of Broil elements have failed. Often you can visually see the damage, or you can test with a multimeter with the power turned off. Try for continuity. The failed one will be shorting to earth. The other possibility is that an end contact has melted through and is touching the case.

Hello, Pamela -

I can only think you do not have the owner's manual for your oven. The F1 error code and what it means will be listed in the oven owner's manual in the Troubleshooting section.

If you wish, you can add the make and model of your oven by choosing Comment and typing that information in the Comment box, so I or someone else volunteering to answer on Fixya.com can provide information for just your make and model of stove.

One thing you can try now, if it is an electric oven, is to turn all the power off to the oven by switching the oven circuit breaker off, waiting one full minute, and switching the circuit breaker back on. That may reset the oven and eliminate the F1 error and unlock the oven door.

Best wishes.

I would start by replacing the breaker. They do become weak over time.

Did you reset the house circuit breaker that supplies power to the oven?

Hi.

The error meaning depends on the oven brand.

On Amana and other brands F1 is a faulty control pad or faulty electronic control.
That may be your case , since the electronic control looks being jammed.

Try tripping the circuit breaker for two minutes (or disconnect power cord). If that does not help, then call the manufacturer at the number listed on the owners manual.

Note: on other brands F1 indicates incorrect temperature , and is associated with a faulty temperature sensor. This normally does not cause the electronic control beeping and not responding.

Hi,

"F1" code clearly indicates that main control board has failed. The possible fix for this kind of problem is you have to replace the faulty circuit board. This is the only solution and you cant repair anything else in this unit when F1 flashes.
Thank you !!

ERC is bad and must be replaced.
(The Clock).

HELLO, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIND YOUR CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX AND LOOK IN IT FOR THE BUTTON THAT SAYS KITCHEN. TURN THE KITCHEN POWER OFF FOR 30 MINUTES THEN TURN IT BACK ON. ONCE YOU TURN IT BACK ON THE OVEN SHOULD RESET ITS SELF. TRY THAT AND IT SHOULD HELP.

Frigidaire oven fault code F1 means the electronic clock control is bad and should be replaced. That is the electronic control board that shows your clock display and is also called clock or eoc, depending on your model.
