What F23 / F24 (Kenmore electronic oven control) Means
F23 and F24 on a Kenmore oven using this control family report a communication failure between the convection fan speed control board and the electronic oven control. The convection fan has its own board, which is why it has its own codes.
Common Causes of F23 / F24 (Kenmore electronic oven control)
- The harness between the convection fan board and the oven control damaged
- A failed convection fan speed control board
- A connector loosened by years of heat cycling
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Try a conventional bake setting rather than a convection one; an oven that bakes normally while every convection setting stops is behaving exactly as this pair describes.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Let the cavity cool and isolate the oven at the breaker before any panel is removed.
- The convection fan board is a separate part from the main control, and confusing the two sends the order astray.
- Built-in oven access means drawing a heavy appliance out of cabinetry, which is not a solo job.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
