# Frigidaire-built Kenmore range error code F1

### Whose code this actually is

Kenmore did not write F1, because Kenmore has never built an appliance. This one is Frigidaire’s, and it appears on the range that Frigidaire built and Sears sold under the Kenmore badge. Ranges under this badge came from Frigidaire, GE and Roper, and one of those three publishes no code documentation at all — so even knowing a range is not enough. The prefix is.

### What it means

Frigidaire's own label: shorted key pad.

### Which Kenmore models can raise it

The Kenmore range whose model number begins 790 — the three digits before the period on the rating plate. Those digits are Frigidaire’s, which is why Frigidaire’s table is the one that applies to F1 and no other manufacturer’s does.

### What happens next

- Clean the panel and check no button is stuck.
- A panel that has taken years of steam and grease does this, and it is the touch panel rather than the main control.

### Where this usually goes

The job this most often becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. A Kenmore range in a South Florida kitchen is usually freestanding rather than built in, which keeps the access short and means most of these end in one visit. Photograph the display before you cut the power: a reset clears F1, and on a Kenmore the characters plus three digits off the plate are most of the diagnosis.

### Where this meaning came from

Frigidaire’s own documentation: *Ranges — Error Code Guide, Frigidaire owner support*. Kenmore publishes none of its own, which is why every entry on this site names the manufacturer’s document instead.
