Kenmore 790 model manual-cleaning free-standing range error codes:

These error code explanations can help you diagnose a problem with your Kenmore manual-cleaning free-standing range with a model number starting with 790.


Code Meaning Possible Cause Possible Parts
F1 Oven temperature sensor failure or failed electronic oven control board Unplug the range for 30 seconds, then plug it back in to restore power. If the code resumes after restoring power, unplug the range and check the resistance through the oven temperature sensor from the electronic oven control board using a multimeter. Your meter should measure around 1,080 ohms of resistance through the oven temperature sensor circuit at room temperature. If resistance is off by more than 200 ohms, check oven temperature sensor resistance directly at the sensor. Replace the oven temperature sensor if resistance is off by more than 200 ohms. If resistance measured directly at the sensor is okay, then replace the wire harness because a damaged oven temperature sensor wire harness caused the control board to detect the incorrect resistance through the sensor. If the meter measured correct resistance through the sensor wires that connect to the control board, replace the electronic oven control board because it isn't detecting oven temperature sensor resistance accurately Oven temperature sensor, oven electronic control board, wire harness
