Jenn-Air ERC Fault Codes

Many failure codes are caused by a faulty timer (also known as the Electronic Range Control). Sometimes, even when the failure code implies that another component has failed this can actually be a timer problem (whereby the timer is not displaying the correct fault code). If you are not sure whether the code you are seeing is due to a problem with the timer please call us, or send us an email, since we can help you determine whether the failure code is likely a timer problem or a problem with some other component. We can repair most timers so if you are sure your problem pertains to the timer (or ERC) please fill out a repair service request and send us your timer to be repaired.

Fault CodeCondition/DescriptionResolution
F1Defective touch pad or membraneReplace touch pad or membrane (this problem is usually the touch pad)
F1Watchdog on boardReplace touch pad or rebuild clock assembly (also called the ERC)
F2Oven too hotReplace relay board (if present) or oven temperature sensor
F3 or F4Open or shorted oven temperature sensorReplace oven temperature sensor
F5Hardware and watchdog circuits disagreeRebuild clock assembly (also called the ERC)
F6Missing AC signalCheck for proper voltage
F7Function key shorted or stuck buttonReplace touch pad or rebuild clock assembly (also called the ERC) or attempt to un-stick button
F8Analog/Digital supervisoryRebuild clock assembly (also called the ERC)
F9Door latch supervisoryCheck door lock circuit or rebuild clock assembly (also called the ERC)
F0Function key stuckReplace touch pad or rebuild clock assembly (also called the ERC)

Fault CodeCondition/DescriptionResolution
F1Power to element relay energized during time of day displayWiring harness shorted or change power relay board (PRB) Note: for double ovens, change second oven board
F2Oven temp sensed; over 600F sensed by control in time of day mode, bake mode, or over 900F sensed in clean mode.Ohm test the oven temperature sensor, if OK, change power relay board.
F3Cooling fan on with no oven function selectedCheck oven temperature sensor or wire harness to oven temperature sensor
F4Shorted oven temperature sensorCheck oven temperature sensor or wire harness to oven temperature sensor
F5Power to element relays disabled in cook mode
  1. Intermittent oven temperature sensor or wire harness or,
  2. Intermittent contact on power relay board
F7Shorted key sensed for 32 seconds
  1. Membrane shorted, or
  2. Display board defective
F8Shorted meat probe alarm
  1. Probe jack or harness to probe jack, or
  2. Probe sensing temp above 250F
F9Door lock safety circuit on power relay board sensedReplace power relay board
FFInvalid temp reading on power relay board (PRB)Check oven temperature sensor and wire harness, or replace power relay board
FCommunication error between boardsWiring harness, check harness wires for continuity, or replace power relay board
FCCommunication error between boardsWiring harness or power relay board (PRB)
FRSecond oven error sensed
  1. Check oven temperature sensor and harness, or
  2. Replace second board
