turn the breaker off at the home circuit panel.

Hi

F1 Error indicates a bad control board and the control board (electronic control) should be replaced to solve this issue. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi

F1 indicates a fault on the electronic oven controller (the clock) & F7 means a function key is stuck.

Check all the keys on the keypad if the fault remains you probably need a new clock.

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

from repairclinic.com:

F7 A = Function pad button stuck or
B = Bad clock Unstick button or
Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC)
It looks like you have a function button pad stuck or a bad clock.

Unstick button or replace electronic range control.

F1 is a common error code indicating a failure of the oven control board (aka ERC or EOC). Often these control boards have been discontinued, "no longer available" or are very expensive. We may be able to help and save you money.

We refurbish oven control boards at www.fixyourboard.com.

F1 error and beeping. Don't bother getting GE out there. Cost me $90 to learn they don't make the clock. WOuld have been $500+ for the control panel anyway. Better off just buying a new one. Planned obsolescence I guess. I won't buy GE again.

The F1 usually means a problem with the touchpanel. It is also related to the F7 problem. I have developed a fix which may solve you problem. Please go to the following link for my fix.

I have shared my fix with over two thousand unhappy GE customers. Most report success. Please let me know if this works for you too. I am making a statistical study of this problem.

Hi,
According to the GE website, F1 usually means a problem with the keypad. You might try my solution for the F7 problem which is similar in nature. Go to the following link:
