Kenmore Elite 721 series range error codes

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F1, F2 or F8 and F1 or F2

A defective upper oven temperature sensor.

Unplug the range before measuring the sensor.

Read the sensor with a meter at room temperature, about 77 degrees Fahrenheit: it should show roughly 1,090 ohms. A reading more than 100 ohms away means the upper sensor is replaced.

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F10

An upper oven door lock failure.

Unplug the range and check the lock's wiring.

Look at the harness between the upper door lock motor and the relay board and the harness from the lock switches to the oven control board, reseating loose wires and repairing broken ones. Then measure the lock motor: about 2,600 ohms is normal, and infinite resistance means the upper door lock assembly is replaced.

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F11

A communications error between the oven control board and the cooktop control board.

Unplug the range and check the harness between the two boards.

Reseat loose wires and repair broken ones. If the wiring is good, reset the oven control by pressing Lower Stop, holding Lower Bake and Lower Broil for three seconds, pressing Lower Stop again and repeating the three-second hold. If the code returns, replace the oven control board and repeat the reset, and if it returns again replace the cooktop control board and reset once more.

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F16

A lower oven that has sensed more than 650 degrees Fahrenheit in bake or broil.

Unplug the range and note whether the oven is really hot.

If the code shows while the oven is at room temperature, measure the lower sensor, which should read about 1,090 ohms, and replace it if it is off by more than 100 ohms. If the oven truly overheated, a stuck relay on the oven control board is the likely cause and the board is replaced.

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F19

A lower oven that is not heating.

Check whether the upper oven and the cooktop burners heat.

If nothing heats, the range may be getting only 120 of its 240 volts, so reset both breakers and then check the power cord at the terminal block, reseating loose wires and replacing a damaged cord. If the supply and cord are fine, call a technician, since live voltage checks are dangerous. If only the lower oven fails, check the wiring from the lower bake element to the relay board, then measure the element: about 22 ohms is normal and infinite resistance means it is replaced. With a good element and wiring, measure the lower sensor, about 1,090 ohms, and replace it if it is more than 100 ohms off.

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F20

A lower oven door lock failure.

Unplug the range and check the lock's wiring.

Look at the harness between the lower door lock motor and the relay board and the harness from the lock switches to the oven control board, reseating loose wires and repairing broken ones.

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F6

An upper oven that has sensed more than 650 degrees Fahrenheit in bake or broil.

Unplug the range and note whether the oven is really hot.

If the code shows while the oven is at room temperature, measure the upper sensor, which should read about 1,090 ohms, and replace it if it is off by more than 100 ohms. If the oven truly overheated, a stuck relay on the oven control board is the likely cause and the board is replaced.

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F9

An upper oven that is not heating.

Check whether the lower oven and the cooktop burners heat.

If nothing heats, the range may be getting only 120 of its 240 volts, so reset both breakers and then check the power cord at the terminal block, reseating loose wires and replacing a damaged cord. If the supply and cord are fine, call a technician, since live voltage checks are dangerous. If only the upper oven fails, check the wiring from the upper bake element to the relay board, then measure the element: about 27 ohms is normal and infinite resistance means it is replaced.

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F1

Listed as defective electronic oven control (EOC).

Disconnect power or unplug the wall oven. Replace the electronic oven control (EOC). Parts named: electronic oven control (EOC).

• The electronic oven control (EOC) on the wall oven has failed: F1 appears on the wall oven display and the oven will not run a normal bake. The chart replaces the control directly, so confirm the code first
• A power surge that damaged the wall oven's control: F1 followed a storm, an outage or a breaker trip on the wall oven circuit. Note whether other appliances on the wall oven circuit were affected
• A one-off fault on the wall oven that clears when power is cut: F1 appears once and then does not return afterwards. Cut power to the wall oven for a few minutes and try a short bake

Switch the wall oven off at its breaker, since a built-in oven is usually hard-wired and may have no plug to pull. The chart says to disconnect power or unplug the wall oven before replacing the control.

The chart does not include this, but it costs nothing and clears a one-off F1 on the wall oven before you buy a control.

The chart's whole instruction for F1 on the wall oven. Match the control to your full model number so it works with the keypad.

F1 (665 model wall oven table).

Electronic oven control (EOC).

A screwdriver or nut driver and a wrist strap.

Should I replace the wall oven control before checking the keypad? For F1 the chart goes straight to the control, because F1 already names the electronic oven control (EOC) as the failed part. If the wall oven instead shows F2/E0 or F2/E5, the keypad is checked first, so read the code twice before you order anything.

Can F1 on the wall oven come from a loose connection? The chart does not list one. It disconnects power and replaces the control, so a cut in power to the wall oven for a few minutes is the only cheap test before buying the part.

Switch off the wall oven at the breaker before you open any panel to reach the control

Disconnect power or unplug the wall oven. Reconnect the oven temperature sensor wire harness if loose. Measure the oven temperature sensor resistance using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn't 1080 ohms at room temperature (70 degrees F), replace the oven temperature sensor. If the oven temperature sensor resistance and wire harness connections are okay, replace the electronic oven control (EOC). Parts named: oven temperature sensor, Wire harness, Electronic oven control (EOC).

• A loose connection on the wall oven's oven temperature sensor wire harness: F3/E1 appears on the wall oven display: Defective oven temperature sensor or a shorted oven temperature circuit. Disconnect power and reconnect the F3/E1 sensor wire harness connection if it is loose
• An oven temperature sensor that does not measure 1,080 ohms at 70 degrees F on the wall oven: The sensor reads shorted, near zero ohms instead of 1,080. Measure the wall oven sensor behind F3/E1 with a volt/ohm meter at room temperature

A shorted sensor circuit means the wall oven cannot read its temperature, so do not bake until it is fixed

Kenmore Elite 721 series range code F4/E1

Listed as meat probe malfunction - shorted.

Disconnect power or unplug the wall oven. Unplug the meat probe and measure the resistance of the meat probe using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn't 59000 ohms at room temperature, replace the meat probe. If the resistance of the meat probe is okay, insert the meat probe in the jack and check for a firm connection between the probe and jack in the oven. If the jack is damaged or worn out, replace it. Reconnect the wire harness connection on the meat probe jack if loose. Parts named: meat probe, Meat probe jack, Wire harness.

• A meat probe that does not measure 59,000 ohms at room temperature on the wall oven: F4/E1 appears on the wall oven display and a probe cook will not run. Unplug the meat probe and measure its resistance with a volt/ohm meter
• A meat probe that is not seated firmly in the jack in the wall oven cavity: The probe measures normally but the code appears when it is plugged in. Insert the probe in the jack and check for a firm connection
• A meat probe jack that is damaged or worn out: The jack is loose, cracked or discolored where the probe plugs in. Replace the jack if it is damaged or worn out
• A loose or damaged wire harness on the wall oven's meat probe jack: The jack is fine but the wire behind it is loose. Reconnect the harness connection on the jack and replace the harness if damaged

Switch the wall oven off at its breaker, since a built-in oven is usually hard-wired and may have no plug to pull. Let the oven cool before you reach into the cavity.

The chart expects 59,000 ohms at room temperature. Replace the probe if the reading is different.

Insert the probe and check for a firm connection. Replace a damaged or worn jack, reconnect a loose harness on the jack and replace a damaged harness.

Meat probe, meat probe jack and wire harness.

What should the meat probe measure? 59,000 ohms at room temperature (the chart also writes it as 59000 ohms).

What is replaced first? The meat probe, if its resistance is wrong; then the jack and harness if the probe is okay.

Let the wall oven cool and switch it off at the breaker before you reach the jack

Do not use a probe that reads shorted, since the control cannot judge the food temperature
