I have a wall oven and get a code F7. Kenmore Model # 49469791, Ser # 8A56383390. I reset the breaker by turning it off and then turning it back off. What do I do now?

Thanks for using FixYa. Error F7 on your Kenmore means that the keypad is shorted or stuck and to resolve this issue you’ll have to replace the Electronic Range control (ERC).Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.

Could be control module, but not sure. I had issues with a code a long time ago, and the broiler kept coming on and wouldn't shut off, so finally had to shut it off at the breaker. Turns out the control module is fried. But just a thought.
F1 Error indicates a bad control board and the control board
(electronic control) should be replaced to solve this issue. Hope this
helps...please post back for further assistance.
Hello & Welcome to FixYa F7 error code is displayed when the clock assembly/electronic range control (ERC) goes bad and needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions. Kevin
The F7 error code on this oven indicates that you have a problem with the control keypad or the electronic oven control board. The image below shows how to access the control board on this oven. Shut off the circuit breakerto the oven before accessing internal components. If you are able to access the control board, you can check the ribbon cable to make sure that it is properly plugged in. If the ribbon cable is secure and you see no damage to it, I recommend that you unplug that cable and reassemble the oven. Reset the breaker to power the oven back up. Wait for one minute to see if the F7 code returns with the ribbon cable unplugged. If it does then the electronic oven control board will need to be replaced.
The fault code is for the ERC The ERC electronic Range Control has failed. If shutting off the breaker for at least 5 minutes does not clear the code you will need to replace the erc. This is the main control located behind the clock assembly. This is easy to replace but usually not to inexpensive. Enter your complete model # at www.appliancehelponline.com and you can pull up diagrams and illustrations of your specific model. All parts come with installation instructions.
There is a probelm with the control panel. You can fix it for about a penny. The panel has a printed ribbon cable that plugs into the relay board. The ribbon cable is actually two cables pressed together, which can be seperated by simply lifting them apart. The ribbon cable has a defect in that the plasic insulation is defective, causing the leads between the two ribbons to cross, or short circuit. Simply place a thin sheet of paper between them, and make sure you push the paper down all of the way to the plastic housing, fold over the edges around the cable, you are done.
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!!!
I used what Charlie recommended ...” post-it” as insulation
And works PERFECTLY….
I have a Kenmore oven Clock…( built in the wall)
Thanks Charlie…you are a Genius!!!!
Hi Indy2008,
You can find my solution to the most common cause of the F7 problem at the following link:

I have helped over 1600 folks solve the F7 problem. The problem is usually with the touchpanel and not the ERC. My fix tells how to determine which part is faulty. Hopefully you will not need to purchase a new touchpanel, however, if you do, an internet search will lead you to lower cost sources.
Please let me know if my fix works for you. You can email me at: [email protected]

Powerman
