My stove is beeping and is flashing F7. What does this mean, it is a built in oven.

this error for GE means that your touch control panel has shorted and the entire touch control panel would need to be ordered and replaced if resetting the circuit breaker won't reset the issue.

Hello,



The F7 error code means that the computer thinks a button on the touchpad is stuck. Sometimes this can be resolved by making sure the touchpad connector fits tight into the control board. The F7 code can be cleared by pushing CANCEL/OFF. If it returns the touchpad needs to be replaced .

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.

Hi, the error code implies that the Function key shorted or stuck..
You need to replace touch pad or if touch pad is part of the clock, replace the clock (ERC).

F7 means a stuck button on the membrane pad. You may have to replace the membrane switch pad

from repairclinic.com:

F7 A = Function pad button stuck or
B = Bad clock Unstick button or
Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC)
It looks like you have a function button pad stuck or a bad clock.

Unstick button or replace electronic range control.

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.

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!!!!
