What 1C/6C / 1C/31 / 1C/32 / 1C/7C / 1C/8C (665-prefix) Means
Some 665-prefix Kenmore free-standing ranges use a two-part code built from letters and digits rather than an F number. The 1C family all report the electronic oven control: 1C/6C for a defective control, and 1C/31, 1C/32, 1C/7C and 1C/8C for internal errors within it.
Common Causes of 1C/6C / 1C/31 / 1C/32 / 1C/7C / 1C/8C (665-prefix)
- An internal failure of the electronic oven control
- Surge damage from an unstable supply
- Heat degradation of the control after many years above a hot cavity
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Cut power at the breaker for three minutes and restore it; the chart gives that as the reset for this family, and a code that returns has confirmed the control.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- The oven control carries line voltage and sits directly above the cavity, so the breaker goes off and the oven cools before any panel is opened.
- On a gas range, close the appliance gas valve as well before panel work begins.
- Console access may affect any remaining coverage — check your terms first.
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.
