Sears / Kenmore Ranges

Sears is a department store. They do not build their own appliances. They contract the other manufactures to build all of their appliances. This chart will help you determine who actually built your appliance, then you can choose the manufacturer from the charts on this page.

The first 3 digits of the model # determines who built it.

The clock on my STOVE started flashing F1

You have either a bad ERC (clock) or a bad touch pad.
1. Disconnect power to stove
2. Gain access to the back of the clock (electronic range control or ERC).
3. Unplug the touch pad ribbon connector from the ERC. This will be a flat wire apx. 1 1/2" to 2" wide.
4. Make sure everything is clear and will not short out when power is turned back on.
5. Turn power back on to stove.
6. Watch for the F1 and listen for the beep.
7. If you get the F1 and beep, replace the ERC.
8. If after apx. 30 minutes you do NOT get the F1 and hear the beep, replace the touch pad.
  NOTE: Some models incorporate the touch pad and the clock as one part.

Oven Sensor Checking

You'll need a Ohm Meter to check a Oven Sensor
@ 60 to 80 Degrees (room temp) it should Ohm out at 1000 to 1100 ohms You can find the oven sensor inside of the oven cavity towards the top right or left corners
To check a fuse use a ohm meter to check it for continuity if so equipped you can find most thermal fuses behind the clock or ERC assembly.

This guide may be incomplete as manufactures use different parts on different models. This is a general guide to range fault codes. We assume no responsibility for any action taken on your part as a result of using this guide. Consult your owners manual, as it may give the fault codes for your particular model.

Thermador

If an error code appears in the cook mode window
Your oven is equipped with an extremely reliable and accurate electronic control. On the rare occasion that something occurs that causes a malfunction, am error message will appear in the oven selector window.

Some errors (E1, E9, E11, E12, and E13) must be cleared by turning off the oven at the circuit breaker and then turning it back on. When an error remains displayed steadily in the off position, after attempting to clear the error, a service call is required. Have the error code available when you call for service. This will help service determine the problem.

Error Code	Notes		Repair
E1	C	E	Control board problem
E2	K	G	Cook or clean mode runaway
E3	A	H	Open oven sensor (over 5000 ohms)
E4	A	H	Shorted sensor (under 500 ohms)
E5	K	D	Control board too cold or too hot, or defective board.
E6	C	J	Control board problem
E7	A	I	Illegal temp. display turn off and retry
E8	A	D	Control board problem
E9	A	E	Latch switch problems
E10	B	D	Control board problem
E11	A	F	CT oven; latch switch problem
E12	A	E	CT oven; latch switch problem
E13	A	C	CT ovens; latch froze or no power to latch motor CMT ovens; control board not converted
E14	A	E	Latch switch problem
E15	B	D	Control board problem

Notes
A	Turns heat off on failed oven only, micro not affected
B	Turns all heat off, micro not affected
C	Disables clean mode in both ovens, allows cook and microwave
D	Error will remain in display until repaired and powered up. No error tones
E	Turning to off stops error and flashing can tweak away code
F	Tweaking clears to "---" for retry
G	Clears when oven temp drops below runaway temp and selector is off
H	Can be cancelled by tweaking if a good sensor is detected
I	Cleared with a mode change
J	Can be tweaked away for retry. User must unlatch and delete the "---" to try to relatch the door
K	Turns all heat and micro off
L	If two switches show locked door, then "E13" and "Lock" are permanent in display (all modes). If two switches show an open door you can tweak away the "E13"
