Clock display won't stay lit

You should be able to access the clock from the back panel. Make sure the power is off and you can disconnect the power to the clock motor. Tape off the wire to prevent it shorting out against the case. generally the white wire is the neutral and can be safely disconnected without affecting the clock operation of the oven. Some clocks also control the oven operation. Make sure that you are not disconnecting this feature.

Sounds like the control board is not communicating correctly with the rest of the unit, consult a professional.

just had similar problem with frigidaire, temp display would go blank, not even show clock, i took off back of stove, the circuit board would wiggle. when i pushed in on the circuit board it worked correctly.

It could be that the clock is on the way out, or the buttons that control the clock have dirty contacts. espares can get you a new clock/timer. What you can do is with the oven switched off, rapidly press all the clock buttons one at a time to try and remove the dirt. Switch the oven back on and see what happens. If you need a handbook, post an email address and I will send you a pdf copy.
I have answered other posts in this section on how to use the timer, so check there if you don't have the information.

Both the top and bottom oven will only work if a time (any time) has been set on the clock. Setting the time operates a contact to switch the power through. The only exception is the grill. This will work even if the time has not been set. So if the oven controls/lights and heating work, to me it means that the clock/timer is half working and the only thing that isn't is the display.
I haven't had the clock/timer to bits but a fellow blogger has said that in some timers there is an electrolytic capacitor that controls the display. When this fails as they are renowned for doing, the dispaly mal functions. If there is one then Maplin have some - VHR41W/43W and DT64U depending on value etc. Let us know how you get on.
If you need a new clock/timer they are around £80 from espares.

control is the oven clock . look for a code in the display . if no code . unplug or turn power of 5 min and retry. may need a colck .. mm

If it's a Whirlpool or Kenmore oven (or one of several other brands that are made by Whirlpool) then this error code means:

F1 - E1 Safety flip flop Replace Electronic Range Control/Clock (ERC)


The system believes that the control board has failed and needs to be replaced.


This page has a list of diagnostic codes by brand and model number. You should check there to look up your particular brand to confirm what I just said.

stuck keypad or bad clock may come as an assembly.

if the timer is on hit cancel or reset then hit clock and then use up and down arrows to set them also locate the serial plate and give me the mod num will be a buch of num like 106.48062890 around the bottom drawer on the body of the range or around the oven door if the eoc or clock isnt lit go turn the breaker off for 5sec and let me know

Press and hold the bake and broil pads together for 2 seconds. SF should appear in the display. Press the clock pad, it will toggle between 12, 24, and off for a black display. Toggle to 12 and press start...Catriver..post back.
