My alarm went off in the oven the other night stating 'F1' (what a horrible Mother's Day gift). So we disconnected the touch pad from the clock and the alarm stayed off, meaning the touch pad was bad.
So we got a new Whirlpool touch pad (control panel) which looks like it was made so much cheaper than my old panel. The metal from my old panel seemed much heavier. We replaced the bad one and it looked fine so I used the ovens for dinner. At 350 degrees, the new panel rippled like the heat melted the plastic panel and it looked like waves of melted ripples. If you touched the panel it was so soft that I was afraid my finger was going to go through the panel. After it cooled down though, it firmed back up but you could still tell that it had ripples, which isn't acceptable since it is a brand new part. We took it back and got another one and they saw that my old, original part was heavier metal and felt the new part would still melt or ripple like the other one they gave me. He suggested we put fire proof insulation in it before we install this one. So my husband had fire proof stuff but when he put it in there and put the new exchanged one in, (even without any heat yet), I could see ripples or places where it didn't seem like the control panel was glued to the metal panel. I have been afraid to turn the heat on thinking it is just going to melt again like the last one, plus make the ripples in this one worse.
This part was $274.09 and I cook a lot and don't want a melted, rippled panel when I should have one that lasts for years, not less than one hour.
What do you suggest? Are all these new panels bad? Have you heard of anyone else having this problem?

Try turning the power off at the breaker for 12 hours.
I had the same problem, tried turning the power off for a few minutes but that did not fix the problem.
Leaving the power off overnight seems to have fixed it.

you can replace touch pad and not very hard to do,you may want to replace control board also.
SOURCE: F1 error code and constant beeping and oven shuts off.
Hi gwhiz03,
If you are having error code F1 with your Jenn-Air double wall oven this is because you have a defective touch pad or clock (ERC). This simple test will
help determine whether the ERC (Electronic Range Control or Clock) or the
touch pad is defective when F1 error code is present.
Note: Some models incorporate the touch pad in to the ERC as a single
assembly, in which case this test is not necessary. Simply replace the ERC
(Clock).
Warning: If you feel in any way uncomfortable performing this test or
making this repair, please contact a qualified appliance repair
technician.
1. Disconnect power to the range (unplug the range power cord or turn the
power off to the range at the circuit breaker). It is very important that
the power to the range has been disconnected, so please double check
before continuing.
2. Gain access inside the control panel.
3. Disconnect the touch pad (also called keypad or membrane switch) ribbon
from the ERC.
4. Make sure there are no lose wires, or anything else that may cause a
short when power is turned back on. Assemble the control panel back the
way it was.
5. Turn the power back on.
6. Wait for at least one hour to see if the F1 code comes back (usually
accompanied by a beeping sound).
7. If F1 comes back, replace the ERC. If it does not, replace the touch
pad.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.
