Reading the code

Codes usually appear on the clock or touch display as F#E#, E#F#, or an older F# code; commercial style knob models may also show stored faults in diagnostics. To reset one, turn the oven off, switch the breaker off for 1 minute, then restore power. A technician can clear stored faults on some keypad models with CANCEL>CANCEL>START, scroll to Faults with 3 or 6, then press START TIME or DELAY START. F0E0 can mean no error when it appears as a diagnostic result on some models; F0 E0 on some wall ovens is treated as a control-system error. C, CAL, LOC/Lock/Locked, PF, Demo Mode, Try the Product, View Product Video, Showroom Mode, Sabbath/Sab/5Ab/5A6/5A7 are messages rather than oven fault codes.

Have the model number ready

The company will ask for it first. It's on a sticker or metal plate, usually in one of these spots:

Behind the storage drawer, on the frame
Or on the oven frame, visible with the door open

KitchenAid oven & range error codes

This list covers many KitchenAid electronic wall ovens, combination ovens, ranges, double oven ranges, and commercial style ranges; older or less common controls can show short F01, F02, F03, F04, F1, F2, F3, F5, F6, F8, or F9 codes instead of F#E# codes.

F5E0 / F5E3 / F5 E0The control detected that the door switch and latch switch do not agree, usually during clean mode.Needs a technician because the latch and door switch signals do not match and the switch circuit must be tested safely.Usually a technician

FC E1The connected oven could not link to the router, or the Wi-Fi module signal or wiring timed out.Reset the router, confirm another device has signal near the oven, and reset oven power for 1 minute.Often a home check

F2E0 / F2 / F2 E0The control detected a disconnected keypad, or on some older controls a shorted key condition.Needs a technician because the keypad connection or key circuit is usually inside the console.Usually a technician

F1E1 / F1 E1The control relay board or oven appliance manager detected an internal EEPROM communication error.Needs a technician because the relay board or appliance manager has an internal memory communication fault.Usually a technician

F1E2 / F1 E2The control detected an A/D error on models that report this separate internal board fault.Needs a technician because the control board analog to digital circuit must be diagnosed and replaced if failed.Usually a technician

F6E0 / F6 E0The oven user interface lost communication with the control.Needs a technician because the user interface communication wiring and control boards must be checked safely.Usually a technician

F6E6 / F6E9 / F6 E9The main, upper, lower, or left oven appliance manager lost communication with another control board.Needs a technician because the oven appliance manager connection or harness has to be diagnosed inside the unit.Usually a technician

F6E7 / F6E8 / F6 E7The microwave appliance manager or its associated wiring has a communication or control fault.Needs a technician because the microwave appliance manager and its wiring are internal to a combination oven.Usually a technician

F6E4 / F6 E4The user interface and appliance manager state or control status signals do not match.Needs a technician because a control status mismatch usually requires board and harness diagnosis.Usually a technician

F3E3 / F3E9 / F3 E3The main or left oven meat probe or probe jack circuit is shorted.Turn power off, remove the meat probe if installed, dry the probe plug, and restore power.Often a home check

F8E2 / F8 E2The control detected cooling fan speed too high, or high fan speed out of range on some models.Needs a technician because a high or wrong fan speed fault usually involves the cooling fan motor, sensor, or control.Usually a technician

F8E1 / F8 E1The control detected a low speed fan error, either overspeed or a left oven fan running too slowly depending on model.Needs a technician because the fan speed circuit needs internal testing if a power reset does not clear it.Usually a technician

F8E3 / F8 E3The control detected high speed fan overspeed or a left oven fan speed too high condition, depending on model.Needs a technician because the high speed or left oven cooling fan circuit is internal.Usually a technician

F7E1 / F7E2 / F7 E1On steam wall ovens this points to the water boiler temperature sensor or boiler temperature out of range. Match F7E1 or F7E2 to the model tech sheet before naming the exact circuit.Needs a technician if a power reset does not clear it because steam boiler, water boiler sensor, or related internal circuits may be involved.Usually a technician

F6EAThe user interface area became too hot.Let the oven cool with the controls off, make sure vents are not blocked, and reset power for 1 minute.Often a home check

Common questions about appliance repair

How do I reset a KitchenAid oven error code?

Turn the oven off, switch the breaker off for 1 minute, then restore power. If the code returns, stop using the oven until a technician or repair company checks it.

Why does the same code keep coming back?

A returning code usually means the control is still seeing the same failed sensor, keypad, latch, fan, wiring, or power input condition. Do not keep running bake, broil, or clean cycles while the code is active.

Why do some KitchenAid ovens show F1 while others show F1E0?

Older controls may show short F codes, while newer electronic controls usually show F#E# or E#F# codes. Use the model number and the control style to match the closest row.

Is F0E0 a failure code?

Not always. In diagnostics on some models, F0E0 means the appliance system was checked and shows no error. If F0 E0 appears as an active wall oven code, reset power once and have the control system checked if it returns.

Still showing the problem after the checks?

Call and describe what you tried. You'll be connected with an independent repair company near you.
