Hello there:
The f-7 error code carries several different possiabities
here are several possiable reasons and the things to check
1. F5 or F6 or F7 EOC (Electronic Oven Control) failure Replace EOC(Electronic Oven Control)
2.
F7 Shorted touch panel Replace glass panel
3.
F7 A = Function pad button stuck or
B = Bad clock Unstick button or
Replace clock assembly (also called the ERC)
Please test each of these carefully ok and if you disconnect the board you may want toclean the contacts really good and then try to reconnect the wires and make sure that they are properly connected ok
Best regards Michael

F7 stuck keypad
Stuck keypad may mean relay is turned on.
Determine if problem is with the Key Panel or Control by:
1. Pushing CLEAR/OFF pad.
2. Disconnecting Ribbon Cable from control and waiting at least 32 seconds to see if Code recurs

If code recurs, problem is in the control. Replace control.

If code does not recur, problem is with the Key Panel.

OK, this code is signaling an issue concerning the key pad or control board.

You either have a stuck touch pad button or a bad clock.
Push all buttons several times to try and clear.
If not successful repair is a new clock.

Try this first!
The control panel has a flat ribbon cable that plugs into the relay module. The ribbon is actually two ribbons pressed together. The plastic insulation has a defect, and the leads between the two ribbons cross. You can seperate them easily by lifting them apart. Place a piece of paper between them to act as an insulator. This should solve your problem. If that does not work, repalce the defective parts yourself. You can do it for about 30% of what a repair company would charge. it's either got to be 1. Control panel 2. Relay panel. Good luck!!!

It's a common problem posted all over the internet. This solution works if you're willing to try it. Make sure you cut off power at the circuit breaker box in the garage.
