What F001 / F002 / F003 / F004 / F005 / F015 (790-prefix, four-digit) Means
The four-digit code set used by many 790-prefix Kenmore ranges separates the touch panel from the board behind it: F001, F002, F004, F005 and F015 all report a touch panel failure, while F003 reports the user interface control board itself.
Common Causes of F001 / F002 / F003 / F004 / F005 / F015 (790-prefix, four-digit)
- A failed glass touch panel
- A failed user interface control board behind the panel
- Heat and steam from the cooktop degrading the panel over years
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Disconnect the range at the breaker, wait thirty seconds and restore power; the published route starts there for every code in this family.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- A glass touch panel is fragile and expensive, and prising at one to investigate is how it gets broken.
- The board behind it carries line voltage and is reached only with the range isolated.
- Ordering a panel when the board has failed, or the reverse, is the commonest error on this family.
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.
