Kenmore Cooktop F1 Error Code — Control Board Fault

Kenmore Cooktop

High Severity
Warning: If your Kenmore appliance displays the F1 error code and you are unsure how to proceed, turn off the appliance and contact a qualified technician. Some errors require professional repair to avoid further damage or safety risks.

The F1 error code on a Kenmore electric or induction cooktop indicates a main control board fault. The board has detected an internal failure or a runaway temperature condition and shut down as a safety measure.

Causes

  • Failed or shorted control board
  • Power surge damage to the board
  • Overheating of control electronics
  • Wiring fault between surface element and board

What To Do

  1. Turn the cooktop off at the breaker for 5 minutes to allow the board to fully reset.
  2. Restore power and test each burner individually.
  3. If F1 returns immediately, the control board requires professional diagnosis and likely replacement.

Our technicians stock control boards for all major Kenmore cooktop models and can complete this repair in a single visit.
