| Lansdowne, Ontario | | N/A | the display beeps and display comes on. on occasion oven can even come on its own | Awaiting receipt of timer | | St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador | PGLEF387CS1 | F1 | ORIGINAL PROBLEM:
In early September, my Frigidaire Gallery Range, Model PGLEF387CS1, began beeping on its own for no apparent reason. It was an ongoing and intermittent problem.
The range would sit quietly for hours, then it would beep on and off for the remainder of the day. I tried unplugging it overnight, but the pattern repeated itself the next day. Sometimes when the beeping occurred one of the display lights flashed on as well; usually it was the "TIME" light (not "TIMER"), sometimes "START STOP TIME", "ERR", "LOC", or "BROIL HI". Although displayed, the door never locked, and the broiler didn't come on, During the beeping/flashing the keypad buttons worked intermittently. At times, I could manage to preheat the oven using BAKE or CONVECTION BAKE and the temperature climbed, but if the beeping started again, the oven shut off. Usually, the bake element only stayed on for 2-45 seconds until the beeps and "TIME" flashing started again and the oven shut off. If the beeping stopped long enough, the oven timer could be set and kept counting down even when the beeping and display acted up.
You repaired my Control Panel approximately 10 years ago, so I thought you might be able to help again. I called your phone line and spoke with a technician who said the erratic behavior sounded like a short in the keypad and he suggested I try to find another used keypad, as they were no longer being made. I managed to find a replacement on eBay, which was supposedly tested and working. It's the flat glass panel with the membrane keypad mounted on the back (original part number 318032140 (white) and used replacement part number 318032120 (gray) ).
THE NEW F1 PROBLEM:
When I substituted the "new" used keypad, it too acted erratically, allowing some keys to sometimes work, allowing several hours of bake time, and then settled on an F1 error message, with no other keys responding until the range was unplugged. Since getting the F1 message, the pattern is always the same when the range is plugged in -- a seemingly random time is illuminated along with the orange function lights; usually the keypad does not work (although you may be able to preheat or bake for 1 or 2 seconds); and then the oven will beep 3-4 times and the F1 message is illuminated again until the range is unplugged.
If I plug the "old" or original keypad panel back in, it now behaves just like the "new" one -- a brief flash of the display lights, the keys don't work, and there are a few beeps followed by F1.
Based on what I've read on the internet, an F1 message may indicate a problem with the Control or TImer Panel. When two different keypads are giving the same results (??), do you think requesting an examination of the Control Board is justified in this case or am I just throwing my money away? Are there any tests I can perform to narrow things down?
If you have any questions, or want me to call, send me an e-mail and I'll respond. Thank you.
FOLLOW UP E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE:
[HS]: If the touchpad is good then the small board which is diagonal to the main board is defective. It is also quite possible that both touchpads are bad
[DG]: Thank you for getting back to me. Are you able to test and repair the small board? If so, what parts would I have to send?
[HS]: You can send it in with the small board still attached

As per our discussions about the electronic 318019820 oven control board.
1. Convection Bake
2. Bake
3. Convection Roast
4. Broil
ALL WORK MOST OF THE TIME
– Oven starts when cold, and comes up to temperature normally
-Intermittently the oven temperature control stops cycling and the temperature drops, despite the read out saying it is at 350 or whatever it was set at.
When in this (Bozo mode) condition it will not restart any Mode 1,2,3,4, and the temperature continues to fall.
When testing in this (bozo) mode. The buttons seem to work properly clear select temperature start, it registers the existing temperature but no element gets turned on.
If persistent enough it will eventually start and continues to work properly for a few hours or days.
-Curious thing 2 times when testing in this (Bozo Mode) the Bake element did come on when I pressed the Pre heat button. I don’t know if that was coincidental or not.
I didn’t try clean as my digital temperature gauge was in the oven.
Thank you
